Title:
Selecting Parameters for Secure McEliece-based Cryptosystems
Authors: Robert Niebuhr, Mohammed Meziani, Stanislav Bulygin, Johannes Buchmann
Abstract:In 1994, P. Shor showed that quantum computers will be able to break cryptosystems based on integer factorization and on the discrete logarithm, e.g. RSA or ECC. Code-based crytosystems are promising alternatives to public key schemes based on these problems, and they are believed to be secure against quantum computer attacks. In this paper, we solve the problem of selecting optimal parameters for the McEliece cryptosystem that provide security until a given year and give detailed recommendations. Our analysis is based on the lower bound complexity estimates by Sendrier and Finiasz, and the security requirements model proposed by Lenstra and Verheul.
