Innovative methods of gathering entropy is interesting to me. Because encryption methods are pretty darwinian. The good ones are heavily used and the quirky/bad ones fall into disuse.

But methods of gathering entropy can range from a microphone recording a city street to the classic keyboard/mouse.

Both are valid, but not as practical.

Personally I have the OneRNG, an open source usb-stick that gathers entropy by generating RF noise.

There are other devices like that out today.

Post-quantum key exchange using ring learning with errors and hybrid solutions: https://eprint.iacr.org/2014/599.pdf

This is really cool! I know Supersingular Isogeny Diffie-Hellman has a patch to build the cipher suite into OpenSSL [0] like the paper you linked. I know that Microsoft Research also has the best known implementation of SIDH [1]. Do you know of any paper studying the performance of those two?

The closest paper I can find comparing performance would be this one (section 3.4 for performance): https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/1017.pdf

Check out the Open Quantum Systems implementation, they've got a suite incorporating a number of quantum resistant algorithms: https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs

They have the SIDH implementation you mentioned (https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/blob/master/docs...), and a test harness for comparing performance.

Really great stuff. Thanks!
