+OQSprovider test suite
+======================
+
+Much like the PYCA/Cryptography test suite, this builds and runs the OQS
+(OpenQuantumSafe -- www.openquantumsafe.org) provider tests against the
+local OpenSSL build.
+
+You will need a git checkout of oqsprovider at the top level:
+
+    $ git submodule update --init
+
+Then configure/build OpenSSL enabling external tests:
+
+    $ ./config shared enable-external-tests
+    $ make
+
+oqsprovider requires CMake for the build process.
+
+OQSprovider tests will then be run as part of the rest of the suite, or can be
+explicitly run (with more debugging):
+
+    $ make test VERBOSE=1 TESTS=test_external_oqsprovider
+
+The environment variable `OQS_SKIP_TESTS` can be set to select tests and
+algorithms to be skipped. If not set, the "rainbow" algorithm set as well as
+the (OQS-)OpenSSL1.1.1 compatibility tests will not be executed. So, for
+example to exclude the "mceliece" and "kyber" algorithms execute
+
+    OQS_SKIP_TESTS=mceliece,kyber make test TESTS=test_external_oqsprovider
+
+The names of all supported quantum-safe algorithms are available at
+<https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/openssl#supported-algorithms>
