[curves] Post-quantum Axolotl

[William Whyte]

Just to be clear about the NTRU license situation:

NTRU can be used under GPL v2 or higher:
https://github.com/NTRUOpenSourceProject/ntru-crypto/blob/master/LICENSE.md

It can also be used in projects distributed under other open source
licenses under certain conditions (which may or may not be acceptable but
are not uncommon in the GPL space):
https://github.com/NTRUOpenSourceProject/ntru-crypto/blob/master/FOSS%20Exception.md

(and just to be clear about *my* situation, I work for Security Innovation
which owns the NTRU patents).

I just presented to TLS and CFRG on one way of combining a quantum-safe key
exchange algorithm with existing classical ciphersuite, essentially by
encrypting an additional secret in parallel with an ephemeral quantum-safe
key and hashing it into the state. Would that approach work here or would
there be problems integrating it with the "ratchet"?

(also, sorry for staying on curves -- should this be on messaging?)

Cheers,

William
