The question was if the OBSD projects works on an implementation! of such a cypher, since from a purely mathematical POV, there are already proofen pq-hard cyphers. > > The answer is no: The OpenBSD project does not invent new primitives; Of course I don't expect the OBSD project to do pqcypher-research. So you say, that from the OBSD POV, the project wants to wait until someone else implements such a cypher and has proofen, that the implementation is practically as secure as the mathematical model already predicts ? > it only implements them (or uses existing implementations) once thoroughly > tested and reviewed by the cryptographic community.

Isn't it a well testet and reviewed cypher? best /mirco
