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
Comprehensive Algorithm Support
Includes C implementations of numerous candidate algorithms from the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization process and other proposals.
Unified API
Provides a common API for all included algorithms, making it easy to switch between and compare different schemes.
Protocol Integrations (e.g., OpenSSL, OpenSSH)
Offers integrations with popular network protocols like TLS and SSH, allowing for testing PQC in real-world communication scenarios.
Performance Benchmarking Tools
Includes tools for benchmarking the performance (speed and memory) of implemented algorithms.
