ML-KEM

Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism

cryptohard

ML-KEM, standardized by NIST in 2024 from the CRYSTALS-Kyber submission, is the primary post-quantum key establishment algorithm. Its security rests on lattice problems believed hard even for quantum computers. Browsers and major services are already deploying it in hybrid TLS key exchanges alongside classical elliptic curve algorithms.
