# Codecrypt
The post-quantum cryptography tool
## Why this?
The post-quantum cryptography tool.
#### About
This is a GnuPG-like unix program for encryption and signing that uses only
quantum-computer-resistant algorithms:
- McEliece cryptosystem (compact quasi-dyadic variant) for encryption
- Hash-based Merkle tree algorithm (FMTSeq variant) for digital signatures
#### Why this?
Go read http://pqcrypto.org/
#### Links
- infopage: http://e-x-a.org/codecrypt/
- *package downloads*: http://e-x-a.org/codecrypt/files/
## Quick How-To
Codecrypt uses hash-based signatures (FMTSeq) and McEliece code-based
encryption (McE-quasidyadic).
Everything is meant to work mostly like GnuPG, but with some good simplicity margin. Let's play with random data!
