Abstract

Code-based cryptography is one of the few mathematical techniques that enables the construction of public-key cryptosystems that are secure against an adversary equipped with a quantum computer. The McEliece public-key encryption scheme and its variants are candidates for a postquantum public-key encryption standard.
