We investigate the possibility of using error correcting codes in digital signatures. A scheme combining one way functions and a MDS code is presented and analyzed. We then study an attack upon this scheme and upon more general ones called "random knapsack schemes" involving a linear combination Xi T(xi,i) of the message elements x i .
