oqs-provider 0.6.1

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 the website: https://openquantumsafe.org/ and on Github at https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/.

oqs-provider is a standalone OpenSSL 3 provider enabling liboqs-based quantum-safe and hybrid key exchange for TLS 1.3, as well as quantum-safe and hybrid X.509 certificate generation, CMS, CMP and dgst (signature) operations.

When deployed, the oqs-provider binary (shared library) thus adds support for quantum-safe cryptographic operations to any standard OpenSSL(v3) installation. The ultimate goal is that all openssl functionality shall be PQC-enabled.

In general, the oqs-provider main branch is meant to be usable in conjunction with the main branch of liboqs and the master branch of OpenSSL.

Further details on building, testing and use can be found in README.md. See in particular limitations on intended use.

Release notes

This is version 0.6.1 of oqs-provider.

Most important updates are fixed references to a security update to liboqs, fixes of potential buffer overrun errors in hybrid key decoding, adding of composite OID setting logic and several documentation updates.

Security considerations

This fixes potential buffer overrun problems in hybrid key decoding. Use of prior versions is strongly discouraged.
