A repository of instructions (with associated patches and scripts) to enable, through liboqs, the use of quantum-safe cryptography in various application software.

In most cases, Dockerfiles encode the instructions for ease-of-use: Just do docker build -t <package_name> .. For more detailed usage instructions (parameters, algorithms, etc.) refer to the README for each package. Pre-built Docker images may also be available.

Currently supported packages:

You can use the openssl (s_client), curl, Chromium and GNOME Web/epiphany clients with the Open Quantum Safe test server at https://test.openquantumsafe.org/.

Contributions are gratefully welcomed. See our Contributing Guide for more details.

All modifications to this repository are released under the same terms as liboqs, namely as described in the file LICENSE.

The Open Quantum Safe project is led by Douglas Stebila and Michele Moscaat the University of Waterloo.
