OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable snapshot 2020-07

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

liboqs is an open source C library for quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms.

open-quantum-safe/openssl is an integration of liboqs into (a fork of) OpenSSL. The goal of this integration is to provide easy prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography in TLS 1.3, X.509 certificates, CMS, and S/MIME. The integration should not be considered "production quality".

Release notes

This is the 2020-07 snapshot release of OQS-OpenSSL, which was released on July 10, 2020. Its release page on GitHub is https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/openssl/releases/tag/OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable-snapshot-2020-07. This release is intended to be used with liboqs version 0.3.0.

What's New

This is the fourth snapshot release of OQS-OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable. It is based on OpenSSL 1.1.1g.

  • Uses the updated NIST Round 2 submissions added to liboqs 0.3.0, as described in the liboqs release notes.
  • Adds support for post-quantum signatures in S/MIME and CMS features of OQS-OpenSSL.
  • Adds post-quantum algorithms to OpenSSL's speed command.
  • Implements hybrid key exchange in TLS 1.3 in accordance with draft-ietf-tls-hybrid-design-00.
  • More reliable building and use of shared libraries.
  • Improves testing of post-quantum functionality, including interoperability with OQS-BoringSSL.
