Code-based Cryptography
Channel: PKI Consortium
Date: 2023-12-07

Last summer, several lattice-based schemes were chosen for standardization in NIST’s effort to standardize post-quantum cryptography. The process of selecting candidates is however not over, with the focus now being primarily on code-based and multivariate schemes. In this talk I will discuss code-based cryptosystems, their basic design principles, security and challenges. I will focus on the candidates remaining in the NIST competition - the well-established KEM designs, but also the new emerging signature designs.
