HPQC
hybrid post quantum cryptography
we have but two simple goals at the moment:
- silo ALL of the katzenpost cryptography into this one library so that it's easier to audit, easier to reason about. This will help us standardize our approach to solving cryptographic problems across multiple protocols.
- Provide a very niche cryptography library that other golang software projects can use if they want hybrid constructions consisting of classical and post quantum cryptographic primitives.
- hybrid KEMs
- hybrid NIKEs
- hybrid signature schemes
Additional features are available if you have a C compiler
If your system has a C compiler installed and you know how to set bash environment variables then getting a few extra features working should be easy:
CTIDH PQ NIKE
Requires using the ctidh tag and setting a bunch of tedious bash environment variables:
export P=/home/human/code/ctidh_cgo
export CTIDH_BITS=1024
export CGO_CFLAGS="-w -g -I${P} -I${P}/highctidh -DBITS=${CTIDH_BITS}"
export CGO_LDFLAGS="-L${P}/highctidh -Wl,-rpath,${P}/highctidh -lhighctidh_${CTIDH_BITS}"
go test -v --tags=ctidh,Ctidh1024
But of course that assumes you've installed our ctidh_cgo library:
https://github.com/katzenpost/ctidh_cgo
Sphincs+ PQ signature scheme
Currently our sphincsplus is the C reference implementation with only one parameterization.
In order to build with any of the Sphincs+ code you must set the CGO_CFLAGS_ALLOW variable
like this, and the required build tag, sphincsplus:
CGO_CFLAGS_ALLOW=-DPARAMS=sphincs-shake-256f go test -v ./... --tags=sphincsplus
In the future we can write bindings to hardware optimized libraries.
