Hi, (Retitling thread from RE: [Openvpn-devel] Topics for the community meeting (Wed, 13th June 2018))

Samuli and Илья, I'd like to introduce you to Kevin Kane. He is the current maintainer of the Microsoft\openvpn pqcrypto branch on Github. He is working on developing encryption standards that are resistant to quantum-mechanics-based attacks. This includes taking existing products and adding experimental implementations of the experimental standards to them—including OpenVPN and OpenSSL. Over time these new techniques will be studied, refined, tested, and otherwise hammered on in the furnace of open-source cryptography until they gain some measure of trust. Both the experimental and untested nature of his work mean that no, his code isn’t ready to be merged into OpenVPN/master…yet! In the meantime, he would love to work with someone from the OpenVPN community—or even the organization itself—to make the connection official and to refine his additions. Some of the needed refinement requires familiarity with the overall build system, while a forward-looking cryptographer or protocol guru might take interest in what's developing under the hood. I don't know much about the current status of the project, but Kevin is happy to answer questions and would love to hear from you.
