Notes

OpenSSL Error Codes

Functions must use function name exactly:

eg QSE_F_<name>
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/<path to openssl source>
<path to openssl source>/util/mkerr.pl -rebuild -reindex -conf oqse.ec oqse.c oqse_ameth.c oqse_pmeth.c oqse_utils.c

The above will generate oqse_err.c and oqse_err.h. The generated prototypes have the form:

void ERR_OQSE_error(int function, int reason, char *file, int line)

If the compiler complains, it can be manually changed to:

void ERR_OQSE_error(int function, int reason, const char *file, int line)

oqse_test utility

oqse_test requires no arguments, and runs signing and verify operations on all signing algorithms within liboqs:

• Time stamps are generated to profile each operation
• PEM files exercise the ASN1 methods and write the resultant keys out to /tmp
• SIGN/VERIFY operations are executed, and negative (bit flip) operations performed on verify to ensure expected behaviour.
