Post-Quantum Key Encapsulation Example

This repository contains an example of using the liboqs-node library for key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) based on post-quantum cryptography.

Prerequisites

Before running the example, ensure you have the following installed:

• Ubuntu Linux 20.04.6
• Python 3
• Node.js (version 14 or higher)
• npm (Node Package Manager)
• Git
• OpenSSL (version 1.1.1 or higher)

Setting Up the Environment

1. Install Dependencies

For Ubuntu:

Open your terminal and run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

sudo apt install astyle cmake gcc ninja-build libssl-dev python3-pytest python3-pytest-xdist unzip xsltproc doxygen graphviz python3-yaml valgrind git

2. Install liboqs Library

Clone the liboqs repository and build the library:

git clone -b main https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs.git
cd liboqs
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -GNinja ..
ninja

To install the built library, run:

ninja install

3. Clone Example code

git clone https://github.com/sneh2102/liboqs-node-example.git
cd liboqs-node-example.

Install all the dependencies

npm install

4. Run the Code

node Kems.js
