  Description     : library for quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms

liboqs is an open source C library for quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms.
It provides a collection of open source implementations of quantum-safe key
encapsulation mechanism (KEM) and digital signature algorithms; a common API
for these algorithms; a test harness and benchmarking routines.
.
liboqs is part of the Open Quantum Safe (OQS) project, which aims to develop
and integrate into applications quantum-safe cryptography to facilitate
deployment and testing in real world contexts. In particular, OQS provides
prototype integrations of liboqs into TLS and SSH, through OpenSSL and
OpenSSH.


I would like to provide Quantum Safe algorithms for Debian usage and
form a team of people that works enabling this in the project.

This package is the first step, from my point of view, to get this
enabled in the distribution.

Thanks for watching!
