Each lab is a self-contained, hands-on view of one piece of the post-quantum transition.

Post-quantum cryptography

The five families

Every post-quantum algorithm rests on one of five hard math problems. Three families already carry NIST standards, one is still research-stage, and one was broken outright.

Lattice
The standards

ML-KEM and ML-DSA are NIST's primary picks — the workhorse of the whole transition.

ML-KEMML-DSAFN-DSA
Hash
Conservative backup

SLH-DSA is built only from hash functions. Larger and slower, but the most trusted.

Non-lattice net

HQC was selected to diversify away from lattices; McEliece is the conservative old guard.

Research-stage

Most submissions were broken during the NIST competition. Studied, not deployed.

SIKE was broken on a single desktop in a weekend. A cautionary tale, kept for the lesson.
