[Pkg-swan-devel] Bug#803787: 2026 Status of this bug?

[Tobias Brunner]

Hi Stefan,
> I see the last update to this bug was in 2020. A lot of things happened
> regarding PQC in that time, including the finalised standardisation of
> ML-KEM.
> 
> The strongswan Android app already supports ML-KEM and strongswan 6
> server itself also does in principle, with a simple flag (   --enable-ml
>             enable Module-Lattice-based crypto (ML-KEM) plugin.
> )
> 
> With client and server having the same algorithm suite configured, they
> agree, but then:
> 
> charon: 14[IKE] negotiated key exchange method ML_KEM_768 not supported
> 
> Since the client sends the corresponding proposal, it looks very much
> like the server lacks compiled-in support for ML-KEM.
> 
> Is there still a reason in 2026 not to include PQC support?
