In April 2026, the liboqs project delivered a major feature upgrade for SNTRUP761 by replacing the PQClean implementation with a public-domain OpenSSH version, driving cross-platform compatibility and easier maintenance. The change touched core KEM code and required updates to licensing, documentation, and build behavior to support Android and MSVC toolchains. Additional compatibility fixes included making VLA handling portable (alloca usage and __builtin_alloca fallback), as well as explicit_bzero adjustments. Extended tests were added (CT exception for rejection sampling) and upstream alignment efforts were strengthened through code ownership updates and co-authored commits. Overall, this work reduces dependency risk, improves portability, and demonstrates strong cross-platform engineering and adherence to open-source standards.

March 2026: OpenSSL ECC performance optimization and code quality improvements in openssl/openssl. Focused on reducing computational cost in elliptic curve operations and delivering business value for key loading, serialization, and cryptographic workloads.

January 2025 focused on correctness and RFC compliance for AES-GCM-SIV in openssl/openssl. Implemented a critical fix for zero-length message handling per RFC 8452, aligned both software and hardware input validations, and expanded test coverage to prevent regressions. The changes enhance interoperability, security, and reliability for edge-case inputs in AES-GCM-SIV implementations.
