Pure Rust implementation of the Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism Standard (formerly known as Kyber) as described in FIPS 203.
ML-KEM is a cutting-edge post-quantum secure key encapsulation mechanism (KEM). KEMs play a vital role in modern cryptographic systems by securely exchanging keys between parties, ensuring confidential communication over insecure channels.
Originally developed as Kyber, ML-KEM inherits the foundation of its predecessor while introducing refinements and optimizations to enhance its security and efficiency. ML-KEM and Kyber are intimately related, with ML-KEM representing a refined and evolved version of the original Kyber algorithm. While Kyber pioneered lattice-based cryptography and provided a reliable framework for secure key exchange, ML-KEM builds upon this foundation, incorporating advancements in cryptographic research and addressing potential vulnerabilities.
In summary, ML-KEM stands at the forefront of post-quantum cryptography, offering enhanced security and efficiency in key encapsulation mechanisms to safeguard sensitive communications in an era where quantum computers potentially pose a looming threat.
