Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Chrome's default hybrid post-quantum key exchange makes TLS connections derive a shared secret from both X25519 elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman and a lattice-based key encapsulation mechanism, so the session key stays secret unless both components are broken. The browser first shipped the Kyber-768 draft variant of this construction and then moved to its standardized ML-KEM form.
