Both change sets are currently also displayed in this pull request. Hence, review and merge of those should make this PR fairly small (~700 lines added).

TODO

• [ ] Add a "hybrid" key exchange method to the TLS policy
• [ ] Add a minimum_kyber_group_size() to the TLS policy (??)

Description

This enables the TLS 1.3 implementation to perform hybrid key exchanges using a classical KEX (ECDH or X25519) and a post-quantum KEM (Kyber or Kyber90s). The implementation is based on this IETF draft and the group identifiers for the Key Share extension are taken from OQS.

Demo

./configure.py                 \
    --build-targets=static,cli \
    --minimized-build          \
    --without-documentation    \
    --enable-modules=tls13,tls13_pqc,auto_rng,system_rng,chacha20poly1305,curve25519,kyber

make -j$(nproc) cli

./botan tls_client                                           \
    --policy=src/tests/data/tls-policy/default_tls13_pqc.txt \
    --port=443                                               \
    kms.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com

Using the snippets above, one should obtain a TLS 1.3 connection to Amazon's KMS endpoint (that is already PQC-enabled using their s2n-tls library). Simply typing "GET / HTTP/1.1" [Enter][Enter] should yield an (admittedly useless) "Bad Request" response.

The PQC TLS 1.3 policy file passed to the CLI uses X25519/Kyber512 as the hybrid key exchange scheme.

Rebased to master.

This will certainly need another look and compatibility testing round. Maybe it could even be used as a vehicle to find a better alternative to the tls_dh_agree() callbacks discussed here. After all is basically just another group, of sorts.

I'd suggest to keep this open until most of the the remaining TLS 1.3 work is done and revisit.

There is a specific draft for X25519+Kyber768 which is already implemented by Zig stdlib and also (IIRC) Cloudflare https://github.com/bwesterb/draft-westerbaan-tls-xyber768d00/blob/main/draft-tls-westerbaan-xyber768d00.md
