public class FlexiPQCProvider

extends FlexiProvider

This class is the provider for cryptographic algorithms which are secure even against quantum computer attacks (post-quantum cryptography).

Provider registration

Using this provider via the JCA requires runtime registration or static registration of the provider.

To add the provider at runtime, use:

 import java.security.Security;
 import de.flexiprovider.pqc.FlexiPQCProvider;
 
 Security.addProvider(new FlexiPQCProvider());
 

The provider is registered statically by adding an entry to the java.security properties file (usually $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/java.security). See that file for instructions.
