OQS-BoringSSL snapshot 2024-10

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/boringssl is an integration of liboqs into (a fork of) BoringSSL. The goal of this integration is to provide easy prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography in HTTP/3. The integration should not be considered "production quality".
