BIKE - Bit Flipping Key Encapsulation
Welcome to the BIKE Website
This website will be used by the BIKE team as its official communication media.
BIKE is a code-based key encapsulation mechanism based on QC-MDPC (Quasi-Cyclic Moderate Density Parity-Check) codes submitted to the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process.
