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/boringssl is an integration of liboqs into (a fork of) BoringSSL. The goal of this integration is to provide easy prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography in TLS 1.3. The integration should not be considered "production quality".
Release notes
This is the 2021-03 snapshot release of OQS-BoringSSL, released on March 26, 2021. Its release page on GitHub is https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/boringssl/releases/tag/OQS-BoringSSL-snapshot-2021-03. This release is intended to be used with liboqs version 0.5.0.
What's New
This is the third snapshot release of OQS-BoringSSL. It is based on BoringSSL commit 78b3337a10a7f7b3495b6cb8140a74e265290898.
- Removes algorithms from NIST PQC Round 2 that did not advance to Round 3: NewHope, ThreeBears, MQDSS, qTesla.
- Updates algorithms to those used in liboqs 0.5.0, as described in the liboqs release notes.
- Change format of hybrid key exchange in TLS 1.3 to follow https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-hybrid-design-01
