hpqc - hybrid post quantum cryptography library

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Katzenpost developement team has recently released a new golang cryptography library known as hpqc. The theme of the library is hybrid post quantum cryptographic constructions, namely:

hybrid KEMs (key encapsulation mechanism)
hybrid NIKEs (non-interactive key exchange)
hybrid signature schemes

In each of the three main subdirectories, “kem”, “nike” and “sign” there exists interface definitions for Scheme, PrivateKey and PublicKey. For signature schemes and KEMs we’re borrowing the interface sets from cloudflare’s circl library.
