Basic Information

Name: codecrypt
Category: software/encryption-tools/
URL: https://gitea.blesmrt.net/exa/codecrypt

Description

This is a GnuPG-like unix program for encryption and signing that uses only quantum-computer-resistant algorithms:

McEliece cryptosystem (compact QC-MDPC variant) for encryption
Hash-based Merkle tree algorithm (FMTSeq variant) for digital signatures

Codecrypt is free software. The code is licensed under terms of LGPL3 in a good hope that it will make combinations with other tools easier.

ehh, knowing how inmature and unsettled post QC crypto is, I would not be comfertable recommending it to users, as they may think its more trustworthy then something like AES or RSA.
