OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable snapshot 2021-08
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.
open-quantum-safe/openssl is an integration of liboqs into (a fork of) OpenSSL. The goal of this integration is to provide easy prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography in TLS 1.3, X.509 certificates, CMS, and S/MIME. The integration should not be considered "production quality".
