In this paper we present a new class of convolutional codes that admits an efficient al- gebraic decoding algorithm. We study some of its properties and show that it can decode interesting sequences of errors patterns. The second part of the paper is devoted to in- vestigate its use in a variant of the McEliece cryptosystem. In contrast to the classical McEliece cryptosystems, where block codes are used, we propose the use of a convolu- tional encoder to be part of the public key. In this setting the message is a sequence of messages instead of a single block message and the errors are added randomly throughout the sequence. We conclude the paper providing some comments on the security. Although there is no obvious security threats to this new scheme, we point out several possible adaptations of existing attacks and discuss the difficulties of such attacks to succeed in breaking this cryptosystem.

Two variations of the McEliece cryptosystem are presented. The first one is based on a relaxation of the column permutation in the classical McEliece scrambling process. This is done in such a way that the Hamming weight of the error, added in the en
cryption process, can be controlled so that efficient decryption remains possible. The second variation is based on the use of spatially coupled moderate-density parity-check codes as secret codes. These codes are known for their excellent error-correction performance and allow for a relatively low key size in the cryptosystem. For both variants the security with respect to known attacks is discussed.
Linear codes have been an interesting topic in both theory and practice for many years. In this paper, a class of $q$-ary linear codes with few weights are presented and their weight distributions are determined using Gauss periods. Some of the linea
r codes obtained are optimal or almost optimal with respect to the Griesmer bound. As s applications, these linear codes can be used to construct secret sharing schemes with nice access structures.
We propose a novel technique for constructing a graph representation of a code through which we establish a significant connection between the service rate problem and the well-known fractional matching problem. Using this connection, we show that th
e service capacity of a coded storage system equals the fractional matching number in the graph representation of the code, and thus is lower bounded and upper bounded by the matching number and the vertex cover number, respectively. This is of great interest because if the graph representation of a code is bipartite, then the derived upper and lower bounds are equal, and we obtain the capacity. Leveraging this result, we characterize the service capacity of the binary simplex code whose graph representation, as we show, is bipartite. Moreover, we show that the service rate problem can be viewed as a generalization of the multiset primitive batch codes problem.
Spatially coupled codes have been shown to universally achieve the capacity for a large class of channels. Many variants of such codes have been introduced to date. We discuss a further such variant that is particularly simple and is determined by a
very small number of parameters. More precisely, we consider time-invariant low-density convolutional codes with very large constraint lengths. We show via simulations that, despite their extreme simplicity, such codes still show the threshold saturation behavior known from the spatially coupled codes discussed in the literature. Further, we show how the size of the typical minimum stopping set is related to basic parameters of the code. Due to their simplicity and good performance, these codes might be attractive from an implementation perspective.
In this paper, we perform a threshold analysis of braided convolutional codes (BCCs) on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The decoding thresholds are estimated by Monte-Carlo density evolution (MC-DE) techniques and compared with appr
oximate thresholds from an erasure channel prediction. The results show that, with spatial coupling, the predicted thresholds are very accurate and quickly approach capacity if the coupling memory is increased. For uncoupled ensembles with random puncturing, the prediction can be improved with help of the AWGN threshold of the unpunctured ensemble.
