Google Chrome Switches to ML-KEM for Post-Quantum Cryptography Defense

Google has announced that it will be switching from KYBER to ML-KEM in its Chrome web browser as part of its ongoing efforts to defend against the risk posed by cryptographically relevant quantum computers CRQCs. "Chrome will offer a key share prediction for hybrid ML-KEM codepoint 0x11EC," David...

Let’s All Agree to Use Seeds as ML-KEM Keys

Last week, NIST published the final version of the ML-KEM1 specification, FIPS 203. One change from the draft is that the final document explicitly allows storing the private decapsulation key as a seed. This is a plea to the cryptography engineering community: let’s all agree to only use seeds a...

NIST Releases First Post-Quantum Encryption Algorithms

From the Federal Register: After three rounds of evaluation and analysis, NIST selected four algorithms it will standardize as a result of the PQC Standardization Process. The public-key encapsulation mechanism selected was CRYSTALS-KYBER, along with three digital signature schemes:...

Post-quantum Cryptography for the Go Ecosystem

filippo.io/mlkem768 is a pure-Go implementation of ML-KEM-768 optimized for correctness and readability. ML-KEM formerly known as Kyber, renamed because we can't have nice things is a post-quantum key exchange mechanism in the process of being standardized by NIST and adopted by most of the...

Enough Polynomials and Linear Algebra to Implement Kyber

I was once talking with a mathematician and trying to explain elliptic curve cryptography. Eventually, something clicked and they went "oh, that! I think there was a chapter about it in the book. You made a whole field out of it?" Yes, in cryptography we end up focusing on a very narrow slice of...
