What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-23

Adopt with guardrails

Why
PQ3 is the first billion-device-scale, independently formally-verified (Tamarin prover, USENIX Security 2025) proof that hybrid ECC+ML-KEM with continuous ratcheting is production-viable, directly relevant evidence for Rule #2's hybrid classical+quantum-safe verification mandate -- but its self-graded marketing claims should not be adopted uncritically.
Next
Cite PQ3's Tamarin-prover/USENIX-Security-2025-verified hybrid ECC+ML-KEM ratchet design as external validation when hardening Pragma.Vision's hybrid classical+quantum-safe signature roadmap; do not replicate Apple's proprietary 'security level' taxonomy -- reference NIST PQC security levels directly instead.
