Status of Support for Post-Quantum Safe Algorithms in OpenSSL

[intel at securecryptohub.com]

Hello OpenSSL subscribers,

I was wondering what the status of supporting post-quantum safe algorithms is for the OpenSSL project. There seems to be other projects, such as Open Quantum Safe (https://openquantumsafe.org) that already are working to add support for Quantum algorithms to their own fork of OpenSSL. Quantum cryptography is expected to break many of the asymmetric algorithms used today. So are the OpenSSL developers planning to incorporate post-quantum safe algorithms in the OpenSSL master branch anytime in the very near future? Please let me know.

Thanks.
