TODO:

• Add primary Author
• Switch clone repo over from my personal fork once Add a basic fuzz testing harness for Dilithium2 open-quantum-safe/liboqs#1905 is merged

silvergasp is integrating a new project:
- Main repo: https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs.git
- Criticality score: 0.65054

Is this ready for review? Thanks : )

Is this ready for review? Thanks : )

A yes/no on if oss-fuzz is interested in merging would be great. But no Im still waiting on open-quantum-safe/liboqs#1905 to be merged. This draft PR is still downloading my fork which contains the new fuzz harnesses.

@DonggeLiu this is now ready for review.

Why is liboqs critical for global infrastructure?
The Open Quantum Safe (OQS) project is an open-source project that aims to support the transition to quantum-resistant cryptography. OQS is part of the Linux Foundation’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance with members including but not limited to;

• AWS
• CISCO
• Google
• IBM
• NVIDIA

With increasing interest in general purpose quantum computing it is critical that quantum resistant encryption algorithms are stabilised and verified before the so-called "Q-day" when current encryption algorithms are vulnerable to quantum attacks. This fuzzing effort will accelerate the time-frame under which liboqs will be ready for general use.

Thanks @nathaniel-brough for initiating these first steps resolving a long-standing issue to improve the code base! Once deployed to at least the algorithms now standardized (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) and partially already included in the library, this will help improve the reliability of the code base. If explicitly needed, @DonggeLiu this is to state support and gratitude for this effort as a maintainer of liboqs.

Thanks @nathaniel-brough and @baentsch.
OSS-Fuzz panel is also happy to integrate this project.

I will merge the PR.
