eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS) removed from OpenSSH.

"XMSS provides strong security guarantees and is even secure when the collision resistance of the underlying hash function is broken ... Unlike most other signature systems, hash-based signatures can so far withstand known attacks using quantum computers. The SASL XMSS project's goal is to implement the XMSS system as a SASL mechanism in one of the publicly available open source SASL libraries."

#XMSS #SASL

#Botan is a #Cpp #cryptography toolkit.

Botan provides many cryptographic primitives including hash algorithms (#SHA, #Blake, MD), ciphers (#AES, #Blowfish, #DES), signature algorithms (#RSA, #ECDH), with #quantum resistant algorithms (#XMSS, #McEliece, #NewHope). Botan also provides functionality for working with schemes using these algorithms, like #TLS.
