goliboqs
goliboqs is a Go wrapper around liboqs, which contains C implementations of NIST post-quantum candidate algorithms. This enables Go applications to use quantum-resistant key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) on Linux.
Usage
Sample usage is shown below. Error handling omitted for brevity.
// Load the library (don't forget to close)
lib, _ := goliboqs.LoadLib("/path/to/liboqs.so")
defer lib.Close()
// Get a particular KEM (don't forget to close)
kem, _ := lib.GetKem(goliboqs.KemKyber1024)
defer kem.Close()
// Use the kem...
publicKey, secretKey, _ := kem.KeyPair()
sharedSecret, ciphertext, _ := kem.Encaps(publicKey)
recoveredSecret, _ := kem.Decaps(ciphertext, secretKey)
// sharedSecret == recoveredSecret
Running tests
Tests assume liboqs has been installed into /usr/local/liboqs.
