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.
Context
The ML-KEM Standard is central to global efforts to transition to quantum-resistant encryption, impacting the long-term security of digital assets and blockchain infrastructure. Its implementation is a key discussion point for developers and security experts preparing for a post-quantum computing era. Adoption of ML-KEM will progressively secure sensitive communications and transactions across various digital platforms.
The cryptographic foundation of decentralized systems must migrate from vulnerable ECC to lattice-based primitives to neutralize the existential quantum computing threat.
