PQC hybrid key support

Open bencemali opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

This PR brings (preliminary) support for hybrid post-quantum + elliptic curve KEMs and signatures. The hybrid serialization formats broadly follow the one used in oqs-provider. Things that would still need work:

  • collecting/commiting to oids, especially for the hybrid algorithms
  • extending the hybridization logic to RSA+PQ hybrids
  • checking interoperability with other libraries implementing hybridization (eg. oqs-provider)
  • change serialization formats to possible (unknown to me) "under standardization" methods

@peterdettman Can we get support on this? How to move forward?

In this case, I would wait until the standards come out, because I have already seen three different ways to approach hybrid keys and certificates.
