NAME¶

mceliece-test - run some libmceliece correctness tests

SYNOPSIS¶

mceliece-test
    

DESCRIPTION¶

mceliece-test runs some tests of the correctness of the libmceliece implementation of the Classic McEliece cryptosystem.

The mceliece-test output format is subject to change. As examples of the current format, the lines

kem_6960119 offset 1
kem_6960119 selected implementation avx compiler clang -Wall -fPIC -fwrapv -Qunused-arguments -O2 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mssse3 -msse4.1 -msse4.2 -mavx -mbmi -mbmi2 -mpopcnt -mavx2 -mtune=haswell; Ubuntu clang version 14.0.0-1ubuntu1; Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu; Thread model: posix; InstalledDir: /usr/bin
    

mean that mceliece-test is testing the automatically selected avx implementation of the 6960119 parameter set with various arrays offset by 1 byte from being aligned, and a final line saying

all tests succeeded
    

means that all tests passed.
