About:
liboqs is an open-source C library that provides quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms. It serves as a foundational component for integrating post-quantum cryptography into applications and protocols. The library supports multiple algorithms and platforms, facilitating the transition to quantum-resistant security.
Key Features:
  • Support for multiple post-quantum key encapsulation and signature schemes
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Integration with OpenSSL via provider or engine
  • Constant-time implementations to mitigate side-channel attacks
Use Cases:
  • Securing TLS communications with quantum-resistant algorithms
  • Implementing post-quantum digital signatures in applications
  • Research and development of quantum-safe cryptographic protocols
Alternatives:
  • BoringSSL – BoringSSL is a general-purpose TLS library; liboqs specifically focuses on quantum-safe primitives.
  • OpenQuantumSafe (OQS) OpenSSL – OQS OpenSSL is a fork; liboqs is the standalone library used to build such integrations.
