About

The Open Quantum Safe (OQS) project has the goal of developing and prototyping quantum-resistant cryptography. More information on OQS can be found on our website: https://openquantumsafe.org/ and on Github at https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/.

liboqs is an open source C library for quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms. Details about liboqs can be found in README.md. See in particular limitations on intended use.

liboqs can be used with the following Open Quantum Safe application integrations:

  • OpenSSL 1.0.2: A prototype integration of liboqs-based authentication and key exchange into TLS 1.2 in our fork of OpenSSL 1.0.2; see the OQS-OpenSSL-1_0_2-stable branch of our OpenSSL fork's repository.
  • OpenSSL 1.1.1: A prototype integration of liboqs-based authentication and key exchange into TLS 1.3 in our fork of OpenSSL 1.1.1; see the OQS-OpenSSL-1_1_1-stable branch of our OpenSSL fork's repository.
  • OpenSSH 7.9 portable 1: A prototype integration of liboqs-based authentication and key exchange into SSH in our fork of OpenSSH 7.9; see the OQS-master branch of our OpenSSH fork's repository.

liboqs can also be used in the following programming languages via language-specific wrappers:

Release notes

This release of liboqs was released on TODO. Its release page on GitHub is https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/releases/tag/0.2.1.

What's New

This release continues from the 0.2.0 release of liboqs.

Key encapsulation mechanisms

  • Update BIKE to Round 2 submission; removes BIKE2-*, BIKE3-*, BIKE1-L5, renames BIKE1-L1 and BIKE1-L3 to BIKE1-L1-CPA and BIKE1-L3-CPA, and adds BIKE1-L1-FO and BIKE-L3-FO
  • Add Kyber "90s variants": Kyber512-90s, Kyber768-90s, Kyber1024-90s

Digital signature schemes
