Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)

This repository contains Python-based implementations of Post-Quantum Cryptographic algorithms: ML-KEM (Kyber) and ML-DSA, aligned with NIST’s standardisation efforts.

🔒 Overview

With the rise of quantum computing, traditional cryptographic schemes are at risk. This project demonstrates practical implementations of lattice-based cryptographic primitives that are believed to be quantum-resistant.

Implemented Algorithms

• ML-KEM (Kyber): A Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM).
• ML-DSA: A digital signature scheme.
• SLH-DSA: Stateless hash-based DSA.
