PostQuantum.SecureChannel.Testing

Test helpers for PostQuantum.SecureChannel. Drop into a test project to skip the boilerplate around real transports and identity generation.

dotnet add package PostQuantum.SecureChannel.Testing --version 0.3.0-preview.1

What's included

  • PqInMemoryDuplex — a pair of in-memory Streams connected to each other. No TCP, no sockets, no port allocation. Hand each end to PqSecureChannel.ConnectAsync / AcceptAsync.
  • PqHandshakeHarness — one call returns a client-side and server-side PqSession ready to exchange records. Mutual auth, resumption, and custom PqSessionOptions are all supported via opt-in parameters.
  • PqTestIdentities — generate, reuse, and reset deterministic-looking long-term identities across a fixture without leaking state between tests.
using PostQuantum.SecureChannel.Testing;

// Three lines for a complete client/server session:
using var harness = PqHandshakeHarness.Create();
var ciphertext = harness.Client.Encrypt(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("hi"));
Assert.Equal("hi", Encoding.UTF8.GetString(harness.Server.Decrypt(ciphertext)));

// Need a real Stream pair (e.g. for testing the stream adapter)?
var (clientStream, serverStream) = PqInMemoryDuplex.CreatePair();    // replaces TCP/sockets in tests
var clientTask = PqSecureChannel.ConnectAsync(clientStream, clientOptions);
var serverTask = PqSecureChannel.AcceptAsync(serverStream, serverOptions);
await Task.WhenAll(clientTask, serverTask);

Not for production

These helpers are deliberately permissive (e.g. PqInMemoryDuplex does not enforce backpressure the way a real socket does). They are intended for tests; do not use them in production code paths.
