McNie [8] is a code-based public key encryption scheme submitted to the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization [10] as a candidate. In this paper, we present Dual-Ouroboros, an improvement of McNie, which can be seen as a dual version of the Ouroboros-R protocol [1], another candidate to the NIST competition. This new improved protocol permits, first, to avoid an attack proposed by Gaborit [7] and second permits to benefit from a reduction security to a standard problem (as the original Ouroboros protocol).

Keywords: McNie, post-quantum cryptography, public key encryption.
Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 11T71, 14G50.
