Python Now Has a Post-Quantum Encryption Library

The pyca/cryptography library now supports ML-KEM and ML-DSA, the NIST-standard post-quantum encryption and digital-signature primitives, making post-quantum cryptography available to the entire Python ecosystem via pip. The implementation was funded by the Sovereign Tech Agency, and the developers emphasize that adopting these standards now ensures crypto agility without an emergency.

Python Now Has a Post-Quantum Encryption Library #

Post-quantum cryptography is now one pip-install away for the entire Python ecosystem. With funding from the

[Sovereign Tech Agency], we implemented support for ML-KEM, the NIST-standard key-establishment primitive, and ML-DSA, the NIST-standard digital-signature primitive, in pyca/cryptography.

Remember, the reason to do this now is because there’s no emergency. And because you will make your systems crypto agile, which is always a good idea.
