Researchers report breakthrough against McEliece cryptosystem
Original: McEliece is one of the oldest post-quantum public key cryptosystems in existence. Since 1978, generations of cryptograph
Cryptographers are discussing a reported solution to the TII-254 McEliece challenge, a significant advance against one of the oldest post-quantum public-key cryptosystems, first proposed in 1978. Generations of researchers had attacked McEliece with only limited success, and the new result marks a notable development in the field of quantum-resistant cryptography.
Why now: A claimed breakthrough against a long-unbroken post-quantum cryptosystem is significant news for cryptography experts.
