# PQ Crypto Catalog
|
|
|
|
This is a repository of post-quantum schemes coppied from the submission to the NIST Post-Quantum Standarization. The sources were cloned from the PQClean project to form new library. The goal of the library is mainly experimentation.
|
|
|
|
## Schemes
|
|
|
|
### Key Encapsulation Mechanisms
|
|
|
|
**Finalists:**
|
|
* Classic McEliece
|
|
* Kyber
|
|
* NTRU
|
|
* SABER
|
|
|
|
**Alternate candidates:**
|
|
* FrodoKEM
|
|
* HQC
|
|
|
|
### Signature schemes
|
|
|
|
**Finalists:**
|
|
* Dilithium
|
|
* Falcon
|
|
* Rainbow
|
|
|
|
**Alternate candidates:**
|
|
* SPHINCS+
|
|
|
|
Implementations previously available in PQClean and dropped in Round 3 of the NIST standardization effort are available in the [`round2` tag](https://github.com/PQClean/PQClean/releases/tag/round2).

|
## API used by PQClean
|
|
|
|
PQClean is essentially using the same API as required for the NIST reference implementations,
|
|
which is also used by SUPERCOP and by libpqcrypto. The only differences to that API are
|
|
the following:
|
|
* All functions are namespaced;
|
|
* All lengths are passed as type `size_t` instead of `unsigned long long`; and
|
|
* Signatures offer two additional functions that follow the "traditional" approach used
|
|
in most software stacks of computing and verifying signatures instead of producing and
|
|
recovering signed messages. Specifically, those functions have the following name and signature:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
int PQCLEAN_SCHEME_IMPL_crypto_sign_signature(
|
|
uint8_t *sig, size_t *siglen,
|
|
const uint8_t *m, size_t mlen,
|
|
const uint8_t *sk);
|
|
int PQCLEAN_SCHEME_IMPL_crypto_sign_verify(
|
|
const uint8_t *sig, size_t siglen,
|
|
const uint8_t *m, size_t mlen,
|
|
const uint8_t *pk);
|
|
```
