		__MatrixMan__ 10 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: NIST selects HQC as fifth algorithm for post-quant... It's not clear whether NIST's recommendations are influenced by their relationship with the NSA (who would have an incentive to pressure NIST to recommend an algorithm which they--and hopefully they alone--can break). So perhaps the reasonable move is to use only one NIST-recommended algorithm and have the other layer be one that they do not recommend.

Or just ask NIST to STFU about cryptographic systems entirely, because their integrity is completely destroyed by their association with NSA.
