Notes from the hackathon are available

The remainder of this content is left for posterity…



Objective

We aim to make the pq-code-package project the place to come to for trusted post-quantum standards-oriented cryptographic algorithm implementations.

An important step towards this is to start onboarding candidate ML-KEM implementations and making them available in the project:

These are just some initial ideas. This is intended as an open collaboration session and any ideas on how we can effectively use the time are welcome!
