A Comment on Niederreiter’s Public Key Cryptosystem

Smeets, Ben LU orcid (1986) EUROCRYPT '85 In Lecture Notes in Computer Science 219. p.40-42
Abstract
In this comment we show that a recently proposed public key cryptosystem is not safe for most of the practical cases. Furthermore, it is shown that the security of this system is closely connected with the problem of computing logarithms over a finite field.
