Any efforts on NTRU crypto technology in Go?

<p>As you may know, Lockheed Martin became the first client for DWave quantum computing system. It is only a matter of time before its ubiquitous in corporate world.</p> <p>Current asymmetric cryptography like RSA is vulnerable to quantum computing, hence the alternative <a href="https://github.com/tbuktu/ntru">NTRU</a>. </p> <p>Is there any effort in Go community to bring NTRU to life? There is <a href="https://github.com/Yawning/ntru">one dead/inactive project.</a>.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>tv64738: <pre><p>Just say no to any patented algorithms.</p></pre>balloonanimalfarm: <pre><p>I wouldn&#39;t worry too much about DWave&#39;s quantum &#34;computers&#34;. Their domain of problems is only annealing and they can&#39;t perform the traditional operations that a computer can, so until a major breakthrough is had in the field they won&#39;t be breaking RSA anytime soon.</p></pre>Jalaska13: <pre><p>True, although they are a proof of concept of the underlying principles, which means it&#39;s &#34;only a matter of time&#34; before crypanalytic-capable quantum computers are feasible. Of course, &#34;only a matter of time&#34; could mean 20 years, but standardized protocols move very slowly, so we need to have a battle-tested quantum-safe public key cryptographic algorithm long before that, and preferably some standards as well (a la PKCS and friends). If a cryptanalytic-capable quantum computer is built before that&#39;s been done, even at the undoubtedly break-neck pace that a solution will be developed after such a computer is made public, it will still be months to years before it&#39;s ready, and that entire time will be a field day for whoever has access to such a computer.</p></pre>besna: <pre><p>NTRU forces GPL, which is a nogo.</p></pre>
