What is post-quantum cryptography?

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to be secure against attacks by quantum computers. Traditional algorithms like RSA and ECC will be broken by quantum computers, so NIST has standardized new algorithms like ML-KEM and ML-DSA.

What is ML-KEM (Kyber)?

ML-KEM (Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism), formerly known as Kyber, is a NIST-standardized post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism defined in FIPS 203. It provides post-quantum key encapsulation for TLS and other protocols.

What is ML-DSA (Dilithium)?

ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm), formerly Dilithium, is a NIST-standardized post-quantum digital signature algorithm defined in FIPS 204. It's used for signing certificates, documents, and code.
