Observable Timing Discrepancy

pypqc is a Python bindings for the "PQClean" post-quantum cryptography library.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Observable Timing Discrepancy due to the decapsulation process. An attacker that is able to submit many decapsulation requests against a single private key and to gain timing information about the decapsulation, could recover the private key.

Notes:

  1. This is only exploitable for kyber512, kyber768 and kyber1024 on Mac OS or when compiled with clang.

  2. The 0.0.7 -> 0.0.7.1 upgrade, when available, should be a drop-in replacement.

How to fix Observable Timing Discrepancy?

There is no fixed version for pypqc.
