Cryptologist DJB Criticizes Push to Finalize Non-Hybrid Security for Post-Quantum Cryptography

In October cryptologist/CS professor Daniel J. Bernstein alleged that America’s National Security
Agency (and its UK counterpart GCHQ) were attempting to influence NIST to adopt weaker post-quantum cryptography
standards without a “hybrid” approach that would’ve also included pre-quantum ECC.

Bernstein is of the opinion that “Given how
many post-quantum proposals have been broken and the continuing flood of side-channel attacks, any competent engineering evaluation will…
