Code-based electronic digital signature

In this paper we consider Code-Based Public-Key Cryptosystems (McElice and Niederreiter schemes). These mechanisms provide high speed conversion and cryptographically strong, it's also holds for the post-quantum period. The Code-Based Electronic Digital Signature is examined, their parameters and properties are evaluated. A new digital signature scheme based on codes that uses a one-way function from McElice cryptosystem is proposed. The proposed signature is protected from fast forgery based on the addition of a codeword.
