The classical McEliece cryptosystem is built upon the class of Goppa codes, which remains secure to this date in contrast to many other families of codes but leads to very large pu...
Different variants of the code-based McEliece cryptosystem were proposed to reduce the size of the public key. All these variants use very structured codes, which open the door t...
The wild McEliece cryptosystem uses wild Goppa codes over finite fields to achieve smaller public key sizes compared to the original McEliece cryptosystem at the same level of se...

In this paper we propose a new approach to investigate the security of the McEliece cryptosystem. We recall that this cryposystem relies on the use of error-correcting codes. Since...
McEliece is one of the oldest known public key cryptosystems, however it was not quite as successful as RSA. One main reason is that it is widely believed that code-based cryptosy...
