acronym

cryptography

Stands for: Module-Lattice Key Encapsulation Mechanism

The NIST-standardized post-quantum key-encapsulation algorithm.

Module-Lattice Key Encapsulation Mechanism (NIST FIPS 203), derived from Kyber, is a lattice-based scheme designed to resist quantum attacks. It is deployed in hybrid TLS key exchanges alongside classical ECDHE.

Also known as: ml-kem, Kyber
