Optimizing Linear Correctors: A Tight Output Min-Entropy Bound and Selection Technique

This repository contains Python code and data for the paper: Optimizing Linear Correctors: A Tight Output Min-Entropy Bound and Selection Technique, published in IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (authors' version, journal version )

Code

The directory Code/ contains necessary Python code to reproduce figures from the paper. All figures can be generated directly from main.py. The content of parameters.py can be modified to speed up the code execution by lowering Decimal context precision, setting another output min-entropy lower bound or to modify the parameters of the bisection method.

Files 1 and 2 contain in each line:

  • parameters of the code on which the corresponding corrector is based (n, k, d),
  • reference where the complete code description and/or its weight distribution can be found (source),
  • sequence of tuples which represents code's weight distribution (Weight Distribution), where the i-th tuple <w_i, a_i> represents number of codewords a_i with weight w_i,
  • in cases where MAGMA uses PRNG we additionally provide MAGMA Seed and MAGMA Seed iteration values in brackets that were used for our constructions.

Files 3 and 4 contain in each line:

  • parameters of the code on which the corresponding corrector is based (n, k, d),
  • reference where the complete code description can be found (source).

Files 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 contain in each line:

  • parameters of the code on which the corresponding corrector is based (n, k, d),
  • minimum required min-entropy of the input raw bits to achieve the output min-entropy rate of 0.999 (H_in_req),
  • code rate = throughput reduction (CR),
  • efficiency of the corrector at H_in_req (efficiency),
  • only for File 9: area estimation (in GEs for NanGate 45nm standard-cell library) occupied by the corrector (area) when implemented using generator or parity-check polynomial (construction).

File 10 contains:

  • parameters of the code on which the corresponding corrector is based (n, k, d),
  • in cases where MAGMA uses PRNG we additionally provide MAGMA Seed and MAGMA Seed iteration values in brackets that were used for our constructions,
  • followed by k rows with n entries of the code's generator matrix.
