LanguageProject Introduction
Summary
liboqs is a C library developed by the Open Quantum Safe project, providing researchers and developers with production-ready and experimental implementations of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms (KEMs and signature schemes) for prototyping and experimentation.
Problem Solved
With the advent of practical quantum computers, current public-key cryptographic algorithms like RSA and ECC will become insecure. liboqs addresses the urgent need to research, develop, and test new cryptographic algorithms that can withstand attacks from quantum computers, enabling users to experiment with post-quantum solutions today.
Core Features
