OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable snapshot 2019-11-dev

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. The integration should not be considered "production quality".

This branch of our fork of OpenSSL aims to provide integration of post-quantum algorithms from liboqs into TLS 1.3 in OpenSSL 1.1.1.

This branch of our fork of OpenSSL can be used with the following versions of liboqs:

  • liboqs master branch 0.2.0

Release notes

This snapshot of the OQS fork of OpenSSL 1.1.1d (OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable) was released on TODO. Its release page on Github is https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/openssl/releases/tag/OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable-snapshot-2019-11.

What's New

This is the third snapshot release of OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable. It is based on the upstream OpenSSL 1.1.1d release.

Update to use NIST Round 2 submissions added to liboqs 0.2.1.

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

Digital signature schemes

  • The OQS signature schemes are now also utilized to drive CMS' sign/verify features (e.g., to demonstrate quantum-safe code signing).

Future work

Snapshot releases of OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable will be made approximately bi-monthly. These will include syncing the branch with upstream releases of OpenSSL, and changes required to sync with new releases of liboqs.
