OQS will also include integrations into application-level protocols to provide easy prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography. Our first integration will be in OpenSSL.
**open-quantum-safe/openssl** is an integration of liboqs into OpenSSL 1.0.2. The goal of this integration is to provide easy prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography. The integration should not be considered "production quality". See more about this integration in its Github repository [open-quantum-safe/openssl/](https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/openssl/).
More information on OQS can be found in slides 64–67 of [this presentation](https://www.douglas.stebila.ca/files/research/presentations/20160812-SAC.pdf) by Douglas Stebila.

## Current status and plans
Our initial launch was on August 11, 2016, containing a single key exchange algorithm (`kex_rlwe_bcns15`) with a basic test harness. We plan to be making the following updates over the next month:
Our initial launch was on August 11, 2016, containing a single key exchange algorithm (`kex_rlwe_bcns15`) with a basic test harness.
Since our initial launch, we have made the following updates:
- Test harness for key exchange algorithms ([pr/2](https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/pull/2))
- Test harness for random number generator ([pr/2](https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/pull/2))
- Integration of liboqs into OpenSSL to enable testing of post-quantum algorithms in TLS connections ([open-quantum-safe/openssl/](https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/openssl/))
We plan to be making the following updates over the next month:
- `kex_lwe_frodo` implementation ([https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/659](https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/659))
- `kex_rlwe_bcns15` generalization to multiple security levels
- `kex_ntru_ees743p1` wrapper around NTRU open source public key encryption ([https://github.com/NTRUOpenSourceProject/ntru-crypto](https://github.com/NTRUOpenSourceProject/ntru-crypto))
- `kex_rlwe_newhope` wrapper around "NewHope" ring-LWE key exchange ([https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1092](https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1092))
- Benchmarking scripts for key exchange algorithms
- Rigourous test harness for key exchange algorithms
- Rigourous test harness for random number generator
- Detailed Doxygen documentation for existing API and public functions
- Modular build system
- Integration of liboqs into OpenSSL to enable testing of post-quantum algorithms in TLS connections
- Finalize open source license for liboqs
- Coding guidelines
