Description

Background

The work done by the Cryptography Group is mostly done on based-effort basis, except the effort sponsored by SCANOSS first, during a few month in 2025, and STF during the last quarter of 2025 and the first half of 2026. In order to speed up the current efforts and complement the current team with people with required skills, we would need funding and/or sponsorship to take the SPDX Cryptographic Algorithms List to a maturity point where it is useful to several use cases.
