AI summary

A post-quantum encryption library is now available for Python, making it easily accessible to the entire ecosystem through a simple installation. The library includes support for ML-KEM and ML-DSA, which are NIST-standard primitives for key establishment and digital signatures. This development was made possible with funding from the Sovereign Tech Agency. Implementing post-quantum cryptography at this time is beneficial because it allows for proactive preparation without the pressure of an immediate emergency. This move also promotes crypto agility in systems, which is a desirable trait.
