pqc-zig

Zig bindings to the PQClean C implementations of cryptographic algorithms proposed during the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Competition. Additionally, there are light abstractions for convenient use present in the crypto.zig files.

Requirements

• Make
• GCC
• Zig 0.15+

Tests

While more rigorous testing is to be implemented, you can run tests by navigating to the desired module and using:

zig build test
