This is my personal home page for the NIST PQC Round 3 submission, Classic McEliece.

I am currently Chairman and Chief Scientific Officer for PQ Solutions Ltd

https://www.post-quantum.com/

which is start up company specialising in post quantum cryptography, secure ID systems and security systems that feature distributed secret keys (quorum).

I am also Emeritus Professor at the University of Plymouth, UK https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/

where for the last 3 decades I have been researching communication systems and electronic security. Of particular background relevance is an open source output, the text book “Error-Correction Coding and Decoding” published with my colleagues by Springer

https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-51103-0

Chapter 19 of this book gives a tutorial style approach, with detailed Goppa code constructions, for the McEliece Cryptosystem. Some variations of McEliece are included.
