Tanja Lange, Christiane Peters, and Daniel Bernstein researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology claim to have cracked the McEliece encryption system, which has been considered a strong security candidate for handling Internet traffic as we move into quantum computing. The researchers claimed on their paper that they have successfully developed and tested a way to speed up attacks on McEliece encryption system.
McEliece, an asymmetric key algorithm developed in 1978 by Robert McEliece, is based on algebraic coding theory and uses a class of error-correcting codes, known as Goppa codes. The idea of the encryption is to create Goppa code as the private key and present it as linear code, which is the public key. Knowledge of the private key is necessary in order to decode the public key (linear code).
For information on the McEliece public-key encryption, see the Handbook of Applied Cryptography by Alfred J. Menezes, Paul C. van Oorschot, and Scott A. Vanstone.
