Navigating the Quantum Revolution

In the annals of cryptographic history, the late 1970s marked a pivotal era with the emergence of two seminal algorithms: McEliece and RSA. At that juncture, quantum threats remained theoretical specters, and the selection criteria for cryptographic algorithms prioritized factors such as public key length and execution time. RSA swiftly ascended to prominence as the standardized choice, relegating McEliece, despite its quantum-resistant properties, to relative obscurity.
