Hi,
OpenSSL 3.5 offers post quantum cryptography (PQC) support:
See https://github.com/openssl/openssl/releases for more info.
Additional info can be found in these drafts:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-kwiatkowski-tls-ecdhe-mlkem-03
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-lamps-dilithium-certificates-07
a)
openwsman DOESN'T use post-quantum key exchange by default if the peer supports it:
This is because 'EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name()' usage. Patch removes this function, which is deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0 anyway. See https://docs.openssl.org/3.0/man3/EC_KEY_new/
TLS 1.3 and the X25519MLKEM768 key exchange is used by default if the peer supports it then:
b)
This change makes 'owsmangencert.sh' generate ML-DSA certificate:
If one wants to use a TLS certificate using ML-DSA , then connection works as expected (assuming 'EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name()' was already removed):
But openwsman DOESN'T support an ML-DSA certificate and classic certificate chain (fall back for clients not having access to PQC) at the same time. There's no configuration or option to load more than one certificate in the server. This could be useful and the rest of the patch implements this functionality.
