ISARA Radiate Security Solution Suite 1.2
The ISARA Radiate Security Solution Suite provides a set of cryptographic primitives that let you develop software resistant to attacks by quantum computers. These primitives include:
-
SHA2 (Secure Hash Algorithm) and SHA3 hashes (256-bit and 512-bit)
-
HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) and Poly1305 message authentication codes
-
HMAC-DRBG (HMAC Deterministic Random Bit Generator) and SHAKE random number generators
-
RFC-5869, NIST SP 800-56A Alternative 1 Concatenation, and PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function) key derivation functions
-
LMS (Leighton-Micali Signature) scheme
-
LUKE (Lattice-based Unique Key Establishment) and NewHope key agreement schemes
-
McEliece QC-MDPC (Quasi-Cyclic Moderate Density Parity-Check) with CCA2 (Adaptive Chosen Ciphertext Attack) Gamma Conversion asymmetric cipher
-
ChaCha20 symmetric cipher
Change Log
Changes Since 1.1
-
NewHope’s
iqr_NewHopeGetResponderPublicKeyAndSecret
and LUKE’siqr_LUKEGetResponderPublicKeyAndSecret
now have proper camel case. -
HMAC now responds properly to error conditions.
-
LMS samples updated to support Height 15 trees.
Changes Since 1.0
-
LMS APIs marked "Deprecated" as they’ll be changing due to the latest IETF draft.
-
Hash implementations now have
initialize()
andcleanup()
methods. -
MACs (HMAC and Poly1305) now use a generic API similar to Hashes.
-
LMS IETF parameters and XDR encodings have been removed; they belong in a higher-level library. Removed
iqr_LMSCreateParamsIETF()
andiqr_LMSGetIETFTypes()
. -
iqr_LMSGetSignatureSize()
was changed toiqr_LMSGetSignatureComponentSizes()
, which is slightly different. -
iqr_LMSSign()
andiqr_LMSVerify()
APIs changed to reflect the removal of XDR encoding. -
LUKE and NewHope algorithms now have a simplified Responder API.
-
The RNG in
iqr_Context
has been removed, along with theiqr_RNGRegisterCallbacks()
function.iqr_RNGCreate()
now takes a callback structure directly. -
FreeBSD (versions 10 and 11) is now a supported platform.
-
Windows is now a supported platform.
Contents
The toolkit is organized into several directories:
-
doc
— API documentation (doc/library/index.html) and Developer’s Guide (doc/guide/guide.html). -
include
— toolkit headers. -
one or more
lib_architecture
directories — toolkit static and shared libraries optimized for the given architecture. -
samples
— Sample programs demonstrating how to use the toolkit.

Using the Toolkit
After unpacking the toolkit archive, you can start using it by adding the following command-line arguments to your compiler:
-I/path/to/isara_toolkit/include \
-L/path/to/isara_toolkit/lib_architecture \
-liqr_toolkit
where architecture is one of the available architectures in your archive. For example, the Ubuntu archive includes these versions of the libraries:
-
lib_bdver4
- AMD Piledriver CPUs -
lib_core2
- Intel Core2 CPUs -
lib_sandybridge
- Intel Sandybridge CPUs -
lib_skylake
- Intel Skylake CPUs -
lib_x86-64
- 64-bit AMD and Intel CPUs -
lib_i7
- Intel Core i7 CPUs
Note
|
If you’re linking against the shared library, you will need to link against
the math library (-lm option).
|
If you require a version of the library tuned for a specific architecture, please contact ISARA’s sales team.
Building the Samples
Note
|
Before building the samples, copy one of the CPU-specific versions of the
toolkit libraries into a lib directory. For example, to build the samples
for Intel Core2 or better CPUs, copy the contents of lib_core2 into lib .
|
To build the samples:
cd /path/to/isara_toolkit/samples/sample_name
cmake .
make
To build all of the samples at once:
cd /path/to/isara_toolkit/samples
./build.sh
For more details and tool requirements, please refer to the Developer’s Guide (doc/guide/guide.html) documentation.
