oqs-provider 0.5.1

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/.

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 and dgst operations.

When deployed, the oqs-provider binary (shared library) thus adds support for quantum-safe cryptographic operations to any standard OpenSSL(v3) installation.

In general, the oqs-provider main branch is meant to be useable 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.
