SSH

OQS-OpenSSH

We’ve integrated liboqs into a fork of OpenSSH to provide prototype post-quantum and hybrid key exchange in the SSH protocol. Researchers looking to try additional post-quantum algorithms can easily add more algorithms that follow the OQS API.

A pre-Internet-Draft is available describing how the SSH protocol was adapted to include the hybrid PQ key exchange algorithms.

The goal of this integration is to provide easy prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography and should not be considered “production quality”. Please see more about limitations of our prototype software.

See the README for the list of supported algorithms and usage instructions.
