## Description

KyberCFFI provides Python bindings for the reference implementation of the Kyber cryptographic algorithm, winner of the NIST post-quantum cryptography competition. The library uses CFFI to efficiently interact with the original Kyber C code.

### Supported variants

- **Kyber512** - Security level 1 (equivalent to AES-128)
- **Kyber768** - Security level 3 (equivalent to AES-192)  
- **Kyber1024** - Security level 5 (equivalent to AES-256)

## Installation

```bash
pip install kybercffi
```

### Requirements

- Python >= 3.8
- CFFI >= 1.15.0
- C compiler  

## Quick start

```python
import kybercffi

# Create a Kyber768 instance
kyber = kybercffi.Kyber768()

# Generate key pair
public_key, secret_key = kyber.generate_keypair()

# Encapsulation (create shared secret)
ciphertext, shared_secret = kyber.encapsulate(public_key)

# Decapsulation (recover shared secret)
recovered_secret = kyber.decapsulate(ciphertext, secret_key)

# Verification
assert shared_secret == recovered_secret
print("Kyber работает корректно!")
```

## Convenient functions

```python
from kybercffi import generate_keypair, encapsulate, decapsulate

# Generate keys with specified security level
pk, sk = generate_keypair(security_level=3)  # Kyber768

# Encapsulation
ct, ss = encapsulate(pk, security_level=3)

# Decapsulation
ss2 = decapsulate(ct, sk, security_level=3)
```

## Factory method

```python
# Creating an instance via the factory
kyber512 = kybercffi.KyberKEM.create(security_level=1)   # Kyber512
kyber768 = kybercffi.KyberKEM.create(security_level=3)   # Kyber768
kyber1024 = kybercffi.KyberKEM.create(security_level=5)  # Kyber1024
```

## Information about variants

```python
# Getting information about all variants
info = kybercffi.get_kyber_info()
print(info)

# Getting version information
version_info = kybercffi.get_version_info()
print(version_info)
```

## Size of key and encrypted text

| Variant   | Public key | Secret key | Ciphertext | Shared secret |
|-----------|---------------|----------------|---------------------|--------------|
| Kyber512  | 800 bytes      | 1632 bytes     | 768 bytes            | 32 bytes     |
| Kyber768  | 1184 bytes    | 2400 bytes      | 1088 bytes           | 32 bytes     |
| Kyber1024 | 1568 bytes     | 3168 bytes      | 1568 bytes           | 32 bytes     |
