After a brief review of some of the basic concepts of algebraic coding theory, the author surveys several public-key cryptosystems, in particular that proposed by \textit{R. J. McEliece} [A public-key cryptosystem based on algebraic coding theory, DSN Prog. Report 42-44, 114-116 (Jet Propultion Lab., Pasadena, CA) (1978)] and his own modified version if it [\textit{H. Niederreiter}, Probl. Control Inf. Theory 15, 159-166 (1986: Zbl 0611.94007)]. He then discusses how to choose codes so that the cryptosystem is quickly encrypted, easily implemented, and difficult to break. Unfortunately, as the author concludes, this system has the drawback that a large key size is required.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0976.00054].
