Hi RARE team,

Has there been any discussion in relation to the possibility of implementing
post-quantum cryptography(PQC) in freeRouter?
https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptography/round-3-submissions

Standardisation is expected to be completed in 2022 and Classic McEliece
looks like a good candidate for testing.
https://classic.mceliece.org/
There are already some implementations, Adva [1] and
https://post-quantum.com/.

There is working ongoing in the IETF on extending IKEv2 to handle larger
payloads. It may be possible to implement PQC for IPsec with PQ-IKEv2 and
Classic McEliece coding.

Regards
Eoin
