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.

Users shouldn't expect any level of security provided by this code.

Build outputs two libraries, a static ``libpqc_s.a`` and dynamic ``libpqc.so``, which can be linked with a project.

## API

Library provides simple API, wrapping PQClean. For example to use KEM, one should call the library in following way:
```c
#include <pqc/pqc.h>

std::vector<uint8_t> ct(ciphertext_bsz(p));
std::vector<uint8_t> ss1(shared_secret_bsz(p));
std::vector<uint8_t> ss2(shared_secret_bsz(p));
std::vector<uint8_t> sk(private_key_bsz(p));
std::vector<uint8_t> pk(public_key_bsz(p));

const params_t *p = pqc_kem_alg_by_id(KYBER512);
pqc_keygen(p, pk.data(), sk.data());
pqc_kem_encapsulate(p, ct.data(), ss1.data(), pk.data());
pqc_kem_decapsulate(p, ss2.data(), ct.data(), sk.data());
```

See test implemetnation in ``test/ut.cpp`` for more details.

## Rust binding

Rust bindgings are provided in the ``src/rustapi/pqc-sys`` and can be regenerated automatically by running ``cargo build`` in this directory.

## Testing

Algorithms are tested against KATs, by the runner implemented in the ``teste/katrunner`` (wip). The runner uses ``katwalk`` crate.
