Our two interests are PQC algorithms for TLS in
Firefox and S/MIME in Thunderbird. As I understand it you are working on
the former.
does the experimental code in bug 1775046, which John mentioned, help
you in any way for your request?
Would you be able to build Firefox yourself with that experimnental
code, and perform interoperability tests?
Regarding S/MIME, I'm not aware of anyone working on PQC support for the
CMS code in the NSS library yet, and I personally haven't seen any plans
for that yet either.
Are there already specifications/RFCs that describe how to use PQC
algorithms with CMS for S/MIME?
If yes, do those specifications use the same algorithms as TLS?
If yes, a project to add PQC support to the CMS module of the NSS
library could use the NSS algorithm implementations.
As of today, I haven't seen any plans to work on that. Unless Firefox
has a need for CMS, then this kind of enhancement would likely have to
be driven by the Thunderbird Project, or by contributors who would like
to see this functionality added to Thunderbird.
I don't have answers for your other questions.
Regards
Kai
