A Brief Introduction to Code-Based Cryptography

Abstract: Code-based cryptography is one of the major players in the post-quantum landscape, providing solutions against attackers equipped with quantum capabilities. “In this talk, I will provide an overview of the history and main features of this area, starting with McEliece’s seminal work and progressing through modern day’s renditions and new cryptographic standards. Everyone welcome!
