      <p class="source-line" data-source-line="0">We would like to
        announce that in the course of a project for the German BSI, the
        details about which can be found <a
href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/113/materials/slides-113-openpgp-a-post-quantum-approach-for-openpgp-00">here</a>,
        we have
        started an implementation of the three algorithms CRYSTALS-Kyber
        as a KEM and CRYSTALS-Dilithium and SPHINCS⁺ as signature
        algorithms in libgcrypt.</p>
      <p class="source-line" data-source-line="3">While the integration
        of the signature algorithms is straightforward, the KEM requires
        a new interface function, as the KEM encapsulation cannot be
        modelled by a public-key encryption.</p>
      <p class="source-line" data-source-line="5">We are currently
        working on Kyber and Dilithium with priority and will hopefully
        finish these by August '23. SPHINCS⁺ will be finished latest by
        March '24 according to our current plan.</p>
      <p class="source-line" data-source-line="7">As soon as we have a
        working implementation for one of the algorithms, we will offer
        a pull request for review.</p>
