Paper 2022/1043 A Study of Error Floor Behavior in QC-MDPC Codes , University of Colorado Boulder , St. Olaf College , Boston University , University of California, San Diego , National Institute of Standards and Technology We present experimental findings on the decoding failure rate (DFR) of BIKE, a fourth-round candidate in the NIST Post-Quantum Standardization process, at the 20-bit security level. We select parameters according to BIKE design principles and conduct a series of experiments.
