"A challenge to whether a long-career former NSA cryptographer can neutrally steward pure-ML-KEM standardization was answered mainly with character defenses and a chair's formal warning, not a structural debate."

"After citing a 7/10 figure among pre-existing participants to advance pure ML-KEM, the chairs told the European Commission's PQC lead they would not disclose numbers, weights, or methods."

"A single-day blast of hundreds of kernel CVEs, arriving beside real high-impact bugs in snapd, QEMU, and libraries, forces the old argument over mass assignment into operational terms."

"A new draft pairs ML-DSA with elliptic-curve operations for smaller hybrid signatures, drawing scrutiny over strong unforgeability, code size, and hedging."
