alt Hacker News> introduction of Kyber (aka ML-KEM or FIPS-203) as PQC encryption algorithm
Funny to read 1-liner changelog versus the plethora of articles just few years ago along the line of "Quantum computer, it might just change our entire lives and make privacy impossible!".
The simple addition (of a not so simple algorithm) to the software (and few others, e.g. OpenSSL) and voila, me can move on with our daily lives. Cryptography and computational complexity are truly amazing.
It reminds me a lot of Y2K. The fix is simple, but finding the places where it's needed and doing it in a compatible way are absolutely non-trivial problems. The best we can hope is the same as Y2K: the plethora of articles convince businesses to invest large amounts of money to migrate algorithms, so that when a quantum computer arrives it won't be a big deal.
