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
