ledacryptkem

This (implementation of an) cryptographic algorithm is insecure.
This crate will only compile if you enable the "cryptographically-insecure" feature.

Only use this crate and algorithm for research and educational purposes.

This crate contains bindings to the C implementations of the following schemes, from PQClean.

This project packages Post-Quantum cryptographic algorithms that participate in the NIST PQC standardization effort. It is currently a collection of wrappers around C implementations from the PQClean project.

Included implementations from PQClean

Below is a list of the included schemes and the corresponding implementations sourced from PQClean. The "default" implementation is used in the Rust-friendly interface, alternative implementations are exposed as ffi methods only.

  • ledakemlt12
    • leaktime (default)
  • ledakemlt32
    • leaktime (default)
  • ledakemlt52
    • leaktime (default)

Notes

This version of LEDA is insecure

https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/455

This implementation is not constant-time! This means that it is not secure.

This crate may remove the leaktime implementation at any point.
