matrict_plus_win

Project information

A Windows-compatible fork of the MatRiCT+ post-quantum Ring Confidential Transaction scheme. This fork abandons legacy POSIX dependencies to ensure native compilation and execution on Windows NT architectures. Key Windows Optimizations: Replaced Linux-specific /dev/urandom PRNG calls with the Windows Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG), specifically utilizing BCryptGenRandom for secure, non-blocking entropy collection.

Overhauled the CMake build system to explicitly support Clang-CL and MSVC, dropping strict -std=gnu++17 flags for generic cross-platform C++17 compatibility.

Implemented dynamic hardware probing to detect Intel SHA and ARMv8 extensions for hardware-accelerated SHAKE-256 hash functions.
