i don't wanna use RSA because it will be plaintext very soon but we can't stop using internet to send private data. Does McEliece cryptosystem provide security today ?

  • What McEliece key size is recommended to use ?
  • With strongest classic or quantum computer in the future how long take to break McEliece public keys ? (for example we know RSA 2048 is secure against classic computers until 2030, what is estimated time for McEliece?? )
  • What is performance benchmark of recommended key size for today regular computers ?
  • What is ciphertext size encrypted with recommended key size ?
