  Abstract

Lattice-based cryptography is one of the most promising areas in post-quantum cryptography (PQC). FrodoKEM is one of the most representative lattice-based cryptosystems and it is based on the learning with errors (LWE) problem. There are some lattice-based cryptosystems that use error-correcting codes to improve the performance. However, it is difficult to use error-correcting codes in the lattice-based cryptosystems such as FrodoKEM which do not use ring structure, because the number of symbols to which the data is mapped is small. Therefore, most previous papers apply error-correcting codes only to systems which use ring structures. Recently, error-correcting codes have been used to FrodoKEM. Error-correcting codes were used only to 128-bit system Frodo-640 and 192-bit system Frodo-976, and not used to 256-bit system Frodo-1344. This paper first modified Frodo-1344 by using Gray code and adding encoding and decoding of error-correcting codes before and after the cryptosystem. As a result, the security level of Frodo-1344 was improved by 13 bits.
