What are STD algs? #1781

Closed baentsch closed 1 month ago

baentsch commented 2 months ago

As per https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/oqs-provider/discussions/407 it may be sensible to provide a mechanism to overrule the "STD" algorithm filter (and/or to augment it with other algs). This issue to discuss whether this is a feature we may want to add.

Thank you for raising this issue!

I'd say it's worth adding a description of OQS_ALGS_ENABLED with smth like

If you use value STD or NIST_R4 for this variable, you can't add extra algorithms to the build via OQS_ENABLE_KEM_ALG/OQS_ENABLE_SIG_ALG variable.
