We give an overview of Kitaev's lattice model in the setting of an arbitrary finite group G (where $G = Z_{2}$ is the famous Toric Code). We also exhibit the connection this model has with so-called 123-TQFTs (topological quantum field theories), making use of ideas coming from higher gauge theory and Hopf algebra representations.
