  Description     : implementation of the public-key encryption scheme
  NTRUEncrypt in C


This library is an implementation of the NTRU encryption scheme in C.
The NTRUEncrypt public key cryptosystem, also known as the NTRU
encryption algorithm, is a lattice-based alternative to RSA and ECC and
is based on the shortest vector problem in a lattice (which is not
known to be breakable using quantum computers).

NTRU is an IEEE and X9 standard and offers encryption, decryption, and
signing. More details are available at
https://www.securityinnovation.com/products/encryption-libraries/ntru-cryptography.html

This package is a dependency of goldbug/spot-on i'm also trying to
package, but will be useful to anyone wanting to use the NTRU algorythm
for encryption. There are no debian packages offering NTRU as far as i
know, but i might as well package
https://github.com/NTRUOpenSourceProject/ntru-crypto As this is a
shared library package, it might need to be maintained by the debian
media maintainers team, but i'm willing to take part of it if it is
possible. I also need a sponsor.
