Linear complementary dual (LCD) codes and linear complementary
pairs (LCP) of codes have been proposed as counter-measures against side-channel
attacks (SCA) and fault injection attacks (FIA) in the context of direct sum masking
(DSM). Although LCD codes were introduced by Massey long ago for other
reasons, there has been a renewed interest in coding theory community for these
kinds of codes due to these new applications. It has later been observed that the
counter-measure against FIA may possibly lead to a vulnerability for SCA when
the whole algorithm needs to be masked (in environments like smart cards). This
led to a variant of the LCD and LCP problems, where some partial results have been
very recently obtained by the authors. This chapter reviews the coding theoretic
problems and solutions related to the security problems mentioned.
