Release notes

This is version 0.5.0 of liboqs. It was released on March 10, 2021.

What's New

This release continues from the 0.4.0 release of liboqs. Its main goal is to incorporate updates submitted to Round 3 of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Project.

Deprecations

As a result of NIST's announcement of Round 3 of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Project, the 0.4.x series was the last release of liboqs to contain algorithms from Round 2 that are not Round 3 finalists or alternate candidates. Those algorithms have been removed in the 0.5.0 series. The algorithms in question are: NewHope, ThreeBears, MQDSS, and qTesla.

Key encapsulation mechanisms

• BIKE: No changes.
• Classic McEliece: Added AVX2 implementation.
• FrodoKEM: Incorporate upstream bug fixes and add runtime CPU feature detection for AVX2/AES-NI implementation.
• HQC: Update to Round 3 version.
• Kyber: Update to Round 3 version.
• NTRU: Incorporate upstream bug fixes.
• NTRUPrime: Add NTRUPrime.
• Saber: Update to Round 3 version.
• SIKE: Update to version 3.4.

Digital signature schemes

• Dilithium: Update to version 3.1.
• Falcon: Update to Round 3 version.
• Picnic: Update to Picnic v3.0.4.
• Rainbow: Update to Round 3 version.
• SPHINCS+: Incorporate upstream bug fixes.

Other changes

• Support for building liboqs with CPU extensions has been enhanced, and most implementations now have runtime CPU feature detection.
• A tool for benchmarking memory usage has been added (test_kem_mem and test_sig_mem).
• Valgrind is used to check for secret-dependent branch throughout the library. Note that not all implementations currently avoid secret-dependent branching; see tests/constant_time for details.

Version 0.3.0

• no_std support
• serde support
• Update liboqs (includes e.g. HQC round 3 update)
• Make API panic less (sorry, breaking changes)

0.2.0

• Updates to current version of liboqs (development branch)
• New implementation
