ePrint Report: Security analysis of the Classic McEliece, HQC and BIKE schemes in low memory

Yu Li, Li-Ping Wang

With the advancement of NIST PQC standardization, three of the four candidates in Round 4 are code-based schemes, namely Classic McEliece, HQC and BIKE. Currently, one of the most important tasks is to further analyze their security levels for the suggested parameter sets. At PKC 2022 Esser and Bellini restated the major information set decoding (ISD) algorithms by using nearest neighbor …
