{{Short description|Kind of error correction code}}
In [[mathematics]] and [[computer science]], the '''binary Goppa code''' is an [[error-correcting code]] that belongs to the class of general Goppa codes originally described by [[Valerii Denisovich Goppa]], but the binary structure gives it several mathematical advantages over non-binary variants, also providing a better fit for common usage in computers and telecommunication. Binary Goppa codes have interesting properties suitable for [[cryptography]] in [[McEliece cryptosystem|McEliece-like cryptosystems]] and similar setups.
