Implementation of PQC Algorithms in libgcrypt

[Falko Strenzke]

We would like to announce that in the course of a project for the German 
BSI, the details about which can be found here 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/113/materials/slides-113-openpgp-a-post-quantum-approach-for-openpgp-00>, 
we have started an implementation of the three algorithms CRYSTALS-Kyber 
as a KEM and CRYSTALS-Dilithium and SPHINCS⁺ as signature algorithms in 
libgcrypt.

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.

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.

As soon as we have a working implementation for one of the algorithms, 
we will offer a pull request for review.

Falko (on behalf of the MTG project team)
