In this paper we revisit some of the main aspects of the DAGS Key Encapsulation Mechanism, one of the code-based candidates to NIST's standardization call for the key exchange/encryption functionalities. In particular, we modify the algorithms for …

We introduce a new class of irreducible pentanomials over $F_2$ of the form $f(x) = x^{2b+c} + x^{b+c} + x^b + x^c + 1$. Let $m=2b+c$ and use $f$ to define the finite field extension of degree $m$. We give the exact number of operations required for …
