On $\sigma$ -LCD Codes



Abstract: Linear complementary pairs (LCP) of codes play an important role in armoring implementations against side-channel attacks and fault injection attacks. One of the most common ways to construct LCP of codes is to use Euclidean linear complementary dual (LCD) codes. In this paper, we first introduce the concept of linear codes with sigma complementary dual (sigma-LCD), which includes known Euclidean LCD codes, Hermitian LCD codes, and Galois LCD codes. As Euclidean LCD codes, sigma-LCD codes can also be used to construct LCP of codes. We show that, for q>2, all q-ary linear codes are sigma-LCD and that, for every binary linear code mathcalC, the code 0imesmathcalC is sigma-LCD. Further, we study deeply sigma-LCD generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes. In particular, we provide characterizations of sigma-LCD GQC codes, self-orthogonal GQC codes and self-dual GQC codes, respectively. Moreover, we provide constructions of asymptotically good sigma-LCD GQC codes. Finally, we focus on sigma-LCD Abelian codes and prove that all Abelian codes in a semi-simple group algebra are sigma-LCD. The results derived in this paper extend those on the classical LCD codes and show that sigma-LCD codes allow the construction of LCP of codes more easily and with more flexibility.
