libntruprime is maintained by Daniel J. Bernstein.

libntruprime is based on the
[official](https://ntruprime.cr.yp.to/software.html)
"factored" `sntrup` software,
which in turn is based on the original `sntrup` software
from Daniel J. Bernstein, Chitchanok Chuengsatiansup, Tanja Lange, and Christine van Vredendaal.

The following components of libntruprime are from Daniel J. Bernstein:

* Infrastructure to build a library
  with automatic run-time selection of implementations
  based on the run-time CPU and a database of benchmarks.
  This infrastructure was introduced in
  [`lib25519`](https://lib25519.cr.yp.to)
  and extended in
  [`libmceliece`](https://lib.mceliece.org).

* Various software for tests and benchmarks. This is based on
  public-domain code in the SUPERCOP benchmarking framework.

* Software for the underlying subroutines
  `crypto_sort`
  (based on [djbsort](https://sorting.cr.yp.to)),
  `crypto_hashblocks`,
  and `crypto_hash`.
