量子计算范式导致了新算法的开发以及现有算法的变化。特别是，基于量子计算的新颖密码技术引起了人们的极大兴趣。许多经典加密技术自然地转化为量子范式，因为它们具有结构良好的因式分解，并且可以以酉算子的形式分阶段。在这项工作中，我们展示了一种基于使用 Reed-Muller 码的 McEliece 密码系统的数据加密和解密的量子方法。鉴于后量子分析强调该系统对量子攻击具有鲁棒性，因此该示例特别令人感兴趣。最后，考虑到在二进制域上运行的量子计算，我们讨论了所提出的密码系统的替代运算符分解。
The paradigm of quantum computation has led to the development of new algorithms as well variations on existing algorithms. In particular, novel cryptographic techniques based upon quantum computation are of great interest. Many classical encryption techniques naturally translate into the quantum paradigm because of their well-structured factorizations and the fact that they can be phased in the form of unitary operators. In this work, we demonstrate a quantum approach to data encryption and decryption based upon the McEliece cryptosystem using Reed-Muller codes. This example is of particular interest given that post-quantum analyses have highlighted this system as being robust against quantum attacks. Finally, in anticipation of quantum computation operating over binary fields, we discuss alternative operator factorizations for the proposed cryptosystem.
