v0.3.0
0.3.0 - January 2022
About
This is the first official release of oqsprovider
, a plugin/shared library making available quantum safe cryptography (QSC) to OpenSSL (3) installations via the provider API.
This project is part of the Open Quantum Safe (OQS) project: More information on OQS can be found on our website: https://openquantumsafe.org/ and on Github at https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/.
Release Notes
The current feature set of oqsprovider
comprises
- support of all QSC KEM algorithms contained in liboqs (v.0.7.1) including hybrid classic/QSC algorithm pairs
- integration of all QSC KEM algorithms into TLS 1.3 using the groups interface
- support of all QSC signature algorithms contained in liboqs (v.0.7.1) including hybrid classic/QSC algorithm pairs
- integration for persistent data structures (X.509) of all QSC signature algorithms using the standard OpenSSL toolset
Limitations
- This code is not meant to be used in productive deployments
- Currently, only Linux is supported and only Ubuntu 20/x64 is tested
- Full TLS1.3 support for QSC signatures is missing (see openssl/openssl#10512)
