Quipu: Post-Quantum Encryption in Pure Rust, with a Wheel for Python

Proteger datos que deben seguir siendo secretos dentro de diez años es un problema de hoy : un adversario puede capturar tu tráfico cifrado ahora y descifrarlo cuando exista la capacidad cuántica ( harvest now, decrypt later ). Quipu es una librería libre de cifrado híbrido post-cuántico para datos en reposo: combina criptografía clásica probada con la nueva, de modo que solo se rompe si ambas…

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

Quipu is a free, hybrid post-quantum encryption library for protecting data at rest. It combines classical and new cryptography to ensure data remains secure even if one type of cryptography is compromised. Quipu is written in Rust and also offers a native Python wheel, ensuring memory safety and a single codebase to audit. The library uses verified and standard cryptographic primitives, including XChaCha20-Poly1305 and ML-KEM-1024, and has been made open-source under the AGPL-3.0 license. Quipu's composition has not yet undergone an independent cryptographic audit.
