@filippo @oec @kasperd I have seen this incorrect belief from multiple people at this point and i’m deeply curious who introduced it because I don’t think even Bernstein’s screens said it (but I must confess I only lightly skimmed them, having more important things to do with my time…)

The IETF is literally publishing multiple hybrid KEM documents, and is publishing hybrids for TLS with RECOMMENDED=Y while pure ML-KEM is being published RECOMMENDED=N.
What are you even talking about.

I guess the key question - ignoring arguments about the historical evidence of foul-play by the NSA - is precisely that: Why is the IETF not pushing hybrids? That, in your own words, makes no sense, no? -

@kasperd I am also more comfortable with hybrids for now, but Bernstein is openly arguing that the NSA is pushing pure PQ as a way to undermine encryption.
