With funding from the\n\n[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.\n\nRemember, 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.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/python-now-has-a-post-quantum-encryption-library", "canonical_source": "https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/08/python-now-has-a-post-quantum-encryption-library.html", "published_at": "2026-08-10 11:02:26+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-10 11:24:31.370245+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "machine-learning", "large-language-models", "robotics", "autonomous-vehicles"], "entities": ["pyca/cryptography", "Sovereign Tech Agency", "ML-KEM", "ML-DSA", "NIST", "Python"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/python-now-has-a-post-quantum-encryption-library", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/python-now-has-a-post-quantum-encryption-library.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/python-now-has-a-post-quantum-encryption-library.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/python-now-has-a-post-quantum-encryption-library.jsonld"}}
