Abstract: The McEliece cryptosystem is a public key cryptosystem whose security rests on the dicult problem of decoding an unknown error-correcting code. We give two examples of attacks to the cryptosystem, as well as a brief introduction to Goppa codes. One modification to this cryptosystem proposed by Pierre Loidreau increases the security of the system without increasing the key size or length of the code.
