    The NSA are fucking idiots. They want easy mode into all data without a thought to the fact that digital security is what allows ecommerce to be a thing.

    Let them break it all. Then watch as they then flip into mitigation mode once companies start sueing governments because they lose money to fraud.

    Get better you fucking noobs. Go back to getting malware onto devices and stop trying to make it easy because you cunts won’t pay well enough to get talent.

    Well, this is not exactly news. They are doing that for ages. They crippled DES, if you still remember this method at all.

    Just go read the original source, djb’s blog post about it.

    TL;DR: he thinks NIST either (through incompetence or NSA pressure) misrepresented NTRU vs. KYBER, and that KYBER-512 might be weaker than claimed so use KYBER-768.

    Yes please. Work on breaking encryption standards to have the standards evolve to be more secure.

    Quantum computers may soon

    We hear this since 40 years now. Still no sign of the “soon” they talk about.
