<p>libmceliece is based on the official Classic McEliece software, which
was written by Tung Chou. See the following papers for the major
algorithms used for speed inside that software:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Daniel J. Bernstein, Tung Chou, Peter Schwabe. "McBits: fast
constant-time code-based cryptography." CHES 2013.
<a href="https://tungchou.github.io/papers/mcbits.pdf">https://tungchou.github.io/papers/mcbits.pdf</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Tung Chou. "McBits revisited." CHES 2017.
<a href="https://tungchou.github.io/papers/mcbits_revisited.pdf">https://tungchou.github.io/papers/mcbits_revisited.pdf</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The official Classic McEliece software includes <code>ref</code>, <code>vec</code>, <code>sse</code>, and
<code>avx</code> implementations; libmceliece includes only <code>vec</code> and <code>avx</code>.</p>
<p>The following components of libmceliece are from Daniel J. Bernstein:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Small <a href="download.html#changelog">changes</a>
for namespacing, portability, etc.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Software to compute control bits (also used in the official software).
See the following paper: Daniel J. Bernstein. "Verified fast formulas
for control bits for permutation networks." 2020.
<a href="https://cr.yp.to/papers.html#controlbits">https://cr.yp.to/papers.html#controlbits</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Infrastructure to build a library with automatic run-time selection of
implementations based on the run-time CPU and a database of
benchmarks. This infrastructure was introduced in
<a href="https://lib25519.cr.yp.to"><code>lib25519</code></a>, with some extensions and
adaptations in libmceliece.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Various software for tests and benchmarks. This is based on
public-domain code in the SUPERCOP benchmarking framework.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The underlying subroutines
<code>crypto_sort</code>
(based on <a href="https://sorting.cr.yp.to">https://sorting.cr.yp.to</a>),
<code>crypto_xof/bitwrite16</code>,
and <code>crypto_xof/shake256/unrollround</code>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>A separate SHAKE256 implementation,
<code>crypto_xof/shake256/tweet</code>,
is based on
