ML-KEM Standard

Definition

The ML-KEM Standard refers to the Module-Lattice-based Key Encapsulation Mechanism, a specific cryptographic algorithm selected by NIST for post-quantum cryptography. This standard provides a method for securely exchanging symmetric encryption keys between parties, even in the presence of quantum computers. It is designed to replace current key exchange protocols vulnerable to quantum attacks. ML-KEM is a lattice-based cryptographic scheme.
