(InfoQ) Cloudflare has open-sourced CIRCL (Cloudflare Interoperable, Reusable Cryptographic Library), a collection of algorithms for post-quantum (PQ), elliptic curve cryptography, and hashing for prime groups.
CIRCL, says Cloudflare, is a proof of concept of new approaches to cryptography that aim to start the transition from current public-key cryptography to a post-quantum era where quantum hardware will implement Shor algorithm and easily break RSA and ECC ciphers.
