OQS-OpenSSH snapshot 2021-08

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.

OQS-OpenSSH is an integration of liboqs into (a fork of) OpenSSH. The goal of this integration is to provide easy prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography. The integration should not be considered "production quality".

This is the 2021-08 snapshot release of OQS-OpenSSH, released on August 11, 2021. This release is intended to be used with liboqs version 0.7.0.

What's New

This is the fifth snapshot release of the OQS fork of OpenSSH. It is based on OpenSSH 8.6 portable 1.

  • This is a rewrite of prior versions of OQS-OpenSSH, performed by Goutam Tamvada, Christian Paquin, and Michael Baentsch.
