The experimental framework in wolfSSL includes several components aimed at enhancing its capabilities, particularly in the realm of post-quantum cryptography. Here are some key aspects of the framework:
- XMSS Implementation: wolfSSL’s Extended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS) implementation is available upon request. It is a stateful hash-based cryptographic signature scheme
- LMS Implementation: wolfSSL’s Leighton-Micali Signature (LMS) scheme is also available upon request. It is another stateful hash based signature scheme that provides security against quantum computer attacks.
- Kyber Implementation: The framework includes an experimental implementation of the Kyber (AKA ML-KEM) algorithm, a post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism. This is coupled with assembly optimizations and is already included in wolfSSL; no need for special request!
- Post-Quantum Dual Key/Signature Certificates: Support for dual algorithm certificates is part of the experimental features, which is crucial for transitioning to post-quantum cryptography.
These features are part of wolfSSL’s efforts to stay ahead in the security domain by incorporating next-generation cryptographic standards and preparing for the advent of quantum computing. For more detailed information or to access these experimental features, you can visit the wolfSSL GitHub repository or download wolfSSL release 5.7.0 or higher.
Note that while these features are a part of the experimental framework, backwards compatibility should not be expected. As features eventually move out of the experimental framework, that is when backwards compatibility and stability can be expected.
