Re: post-quantum crypto algorithms implementation

Are there any plans for post-quantum algorithms implementation in the library?

No concrete plans, I'm afraid. Nettle is not close to the research frontier; a new algorithm is usually added when there's some consensus that it is are secure (after a few rounds of public cryptanalysis) and it starts to appear in standards. Most crypto algorithms have weaknesses when first proposed.

I think more or less the same will apply to new post-quantum algorithms.

If you (or anyone else on the list) are following research, I'd be happy to hear what algorithms or approaches you think are promising.
