Rank-metric codes date back to the 1970s and today play a vital role in many areas of coding theory and cryptography. In this survey the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the known properties of rank-metric codes and their applications. The authors begin with an accessible and complete introduction to rank-metric codes, their properties and their decoding. They then discuss at length rank-metric code-based quantum resistant encryption and authentication schemes. The application of rank-metric codes to distributed data storage is also outlined. Finally, the constructions of network...
