# Contributing new schemes to PQClean

Contributing new schemes to PQClean
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
## Why contribute to PQClean

Why contribute to PQClean
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
PQClean hopes to provide your scheme to people who want to integrate post-quantum cryptography into their own libraries and applications.
|
||||
But our extensive testing framework might also help you catch bugs in your implementation, that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.
|
||||
We run our builds on (emulated) ARMv7, ARMv8, x86 and amd64.
|
||||
Also, we apply static and dynamic analysis tools.

## Adding your scheme
|

Adding your scheme
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For this text, we will assume that you want to contribute a **kem** to PQClean.
|
||||
For a signature scheme, these steps are equivalent, but the API is slightly different.
|
||||
For this text, we will assume that you want to contribute a **key encapsulation mechanism (KEM)** to PQClean. For a signature scheme, these steps are equivalent, but the API is slightly different.
|
||||
See the section [API](#API) below.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Fork our repository. You will be creating a pull request soon.
|
||||
* **Tip:** Do not wait until you think you have gotten everything perfect, before you open the pull request.
|
||||
We set up things so Github and the CI environment will give you feedback and guidance on the steps to follow.

|

|
||||
2. Create the following folder structure: `crypto_kem/yourschemename/clean`.
|
||||
We follow the SUPERCOP layout, so please create a separate folder for each parameter set.
|
||||
For now, we only accept **pure, portable C code**

2. Create the following folder structure: `crypto_kem/yourschemename/clean`. We follow the SUPERCOP layout, so please create a separate folder under `crypto_kem` for each parameter set.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create a ``META.yml`` file in ``crypto_kem/yourschemename/`` following this template:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: Name
|
||||
type: <kem|signature>
|
||||
claimed-nist-level: <N>
|
||||
length-public-key: <N>
|
||||
length-ciphertext: <N>
|
||||
testvectors-sha256: sha256sum of output of testvectors
|
||||
principal-submitter: Eve
|
||||
auxiliary-submitters:
|
||||
For now, we only accept **pure, portable C code**. Our coding conventions impose certain constraints on the C code -- C99 code, fixed sized integer types (e.g., `uint64_t` rather than `unsigned long long`), and more. See README.md for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create a `META.yml` file in `crypto_kem/yourschemename` following this template:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: Name
|
||||
type: <kem|signature>
|
||||
claimed-nist-level: <N>
|
||||
length-public-key: <N>
|
||||
length-ciphertext: <N>
|
||||
testvectors-sha256: sha256sum of output of testvectors
|
||||
principal-submitter: Eve
|
||||
auxiliary-submitters:
|
||||
- Alice
|
||||
- Bob
|
||||
- ...
|
||||
implementations:
|
||||
implementations:
|
||||
- name: clean
|
||||
version: <some version indicator>
|
||||
```
|
||||
This file needs to be valid [YAML](https://yaml.org/).
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Put your scheme into ``crypto_kem/yourschemename/clean``.
|
||||
1. Make sure all symbols are prefixed with ``PQCLEAN_YOURSCHEME_CLEAN_``
|
||||
2. Include ``api.h`` into your scheme with the symbols specified in the section [API](#API):
|
||||
This file needs to be valid [YAML](https://yaml.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
5. Create ``Makefile`` and ``Makefile.Microsoft_nmake`` files to compile your scheme as static library.
|
||||
* We suggest you take these from ``crypto_kem/kyber768/clean`` and modify them to suit your scheme.
|
||||
4. Put your scheme's C source code into `crypto_kem/yourschemename/clean`.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Add a ``LICENSE`` file to your implementation folder.
|
||||
1. Make sure all symbols are prefixed with `PQCLEAN_YOURSCHEME_CLEAN_`.
|
||||
2. Include `api.h` into your scheme with the symbols specified in the section [API](#API).
|
||||
|
||||
7. Commit everything and push it to your fork

|
||||
|
||||
8. Open a pull request on our repository and process the feedback given to you by the CI environment.
|
||||
The pull request will also set up a checklist for you and us to follow.
