- dependenttypes 6y ago1.3 MiB for the most secure parameter set (mceliece8192128). The other sets are less than 1 MiB.
- sgillen 6y agoWell, at least people are used to downloading Mb of junk when they browse the internet these days anyway...
- hackcasual 6y agoWe also want crypto systems that work on embedded/constrained environments
- dependenttypes 6y agoAnd that's fine. These systems can use NTRU or whatever else. These systems being weak is not a reason to drag everyone else down.
