Updated breakage of currently considered post-quantum safe cipher McEliece. The attack has now moved from finding hidden structure to recovering a working decryption key possibly below 2^128 operations. Still far from practical today, but this is a serious weakening. Stop trusting McEliece.

A major result in post-quantum cryptography. A key security assumption behind Classic McEliece, a public-key encryption system considered to resist quantum computers, has been undermined. Researchers found a provable quasipolynomial-time method for detecting the hidden
