QUANTUM NEXUM

Vault.

A curated reference library for post-quantum cryptography. Standards, algorithm specifications, compliance timelines, implementation notes, and compatibility data — gathered in one place so you don't have to chase down a dozen PDFs to understand one design decision.

Reference pages

algorithms

ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA — what they are, when to pick which.

standards

NIST FIPS 203/204/205, SP 800-227, NSA CNSA 2.0 timeline.

pq-tls

How post-quantum key exchange works in TLS 1.3.

hybrid

Classical + PQ hybrid key exchange and signatures.

compatibility

Which platforms support which algorithms today.

acme

RFC 8555 automated issuance with PQ algorithms.

security

What's known, what's assumed, recent attacks.

NSA CNSA 2.0 timeline

NSA's CNSA 2.0 requires CNSA-compliant algorithms across National Security Systems on a tiered timeline. Software and firmware signing + web browsers and servers begin preferring CNSA 2.0 in 2025; networking equipment and operating systems follow through 2026–2027; exclusive use across all categories is required by 2033.

What's actually populated

The standards and security pages are the most complete today; others are landing as each one passes review. If a particular standard or implementation note isn't covered yet and would help you, please email and say so.
