Liboqs

Jul 20, 2023

C library for quantum-resistant cryptography

liboqs provides

  • a collection of open source implementations of quantum-safe key encapsulation mechanism KEM and digital signature algorithms; the full list can be found below
  • a common API for these algorithms
  • a test harness and benchmarking routines

liboqs is part of the Open Quantum Safe OQS project led by Douglas Stebila and Michele Mosca, which aims to develop and integrate into applications quantum-safe cryptography to facilitate deployment and testing in real world contexts. In particular, OQS provides prototype integrations of liboqs into TLS and SSH, through OpenSSL and OpenSSH.
