Botan MC-Eliece implementation fails because of deprecated implementation example

QUESTION

Botan MC-Eliece implementation fails because of deprecated implementation example

Asked 2020-Sep-01 at 10:07

I have problems with my c++ mc-eliece implementation from Botan crypto library. There seems to be virtually only one example of it in the whole internet, with a link to it.

https://www.cryptosource.de/docs/mceliece_in_botan.pdf

But this example is 6 years old, hence it is totally outdated and the Botan docs do not provide any other.

The problem is basically, that unfortunatelly function names and specs have changed over time, hence i get a couple of compiler errors while i try to use them. I managed to demystify some of them by looking into the header implementations. But now i'm, frankly said, in front of a wall.

It would be great if anybody familar with the Botan MC-Eliece implementation, could give me a hint, how the current functions are called.

This is my code with marks. I removed a lot of unnecessary code and other implementations, to make it more readable. You will also not be able to make it run without the necessary modules, but i will try to write it down in a way, that somebody with Botan library should be able to run it.

The McEliece unit test can be taken as reference (link).

Based on that code, your example can be rewritten as follows:
