Abstract

The code-based schemes, which were submitted to the contest of post-quantum crypto algorithms NIST PQC, are studied in this work. The general characteristics of the algorithms are explored and basic properties and parameters are estimated. A comparative analysis of the electronic digital signature schemes, public-key cryptosystems and key encapsulation schemes are carried out according to the criteria of speed and length of the main cryptographic parameters.
