This scheme is inspired by the McEliece scheme but uses another family of codes defined over $\\mathbb{F}_{2^{128}}$ instead of $\\mathbb{F}_2$ and is not based on the Hamming metric. It allows significantly shorter public keys than the McEliece scheme. In this paper, we give a polynomial time algorithm that recovers the encapsulated secret. This attack makes the scheme insecure for the intended use.
