Will there be support for quantum resistant public key cryptography? #1082

Closed Chewhern closed 3 years ago

Chewhern commented 3 years ago

I have asked this on discussion but I guess it might be better to ask here, if NIST announced the standard/winner for quantum resistant public key cryptography(which is not now but maybe in next 1-3 years), it will obviously take time to make those standards safe and secure to use.

I was wondering if libsodium planned to implement the quantum resistant version of public key cryptography that exists in our daily life like digital signature or key exchange that existed in SSL after there exists a safe and secure standard.
