oqs-provider 0.10.0-rc1

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 the website: https://openquantumsafe.org/ and on Github at https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/.

oqs-provider is a standalone OpenSSL 3 provider enabling liboqs-based quantum-safe and hybrid key exchange for TLS 1.3, as well as quantum-safe and hybrid X.509 certificate generation, CMS, CMP and dgst (signature) operations.

When deployed, the oqs-provider binary (shared library) thus adds support for quantum-safe cryptographic operations to any standard OpenSSL(v3) installation. The ultimate goal is that all openssl functionality shall be PQC-enabled.

In general, the oqs-provider main branch is meant to be usable in conjunction with the main branch of liboqs and the master branch of OpenSSL.

Further details on building, testing and use can be found in README.md. See in particular limitations on intended use.

Release notes

This is release candidate 1 of version 0.10.0 of oqs-provider which continues from the earlier 0.9.0 release. This release is fully tested to be used in conjunction with the main branch of liboqs and is guaranteed to be in sync with v0.14.0 of liboqs.

Deprecation notice

This release of oqsprovider removes support for composite signatures.
