Abstract

Properties of random codes endowed with the cover metric are considered. We prove the NP-hardness of the decoding problem and then provide a generic decoder, following the information set decoding idea from Prange's algorithm in the Hamming metric. Despite the cover metric lying between the Hamming and the rank metric, the complexity analysis of the algorithm reveals a significant difference between the metrics.
