What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Adopt with guardrails

Why
It is the cleanest, well-specified hybrid KEM directly aligned with Rule #2's hybrid (classical + quantum-safe) mandate, with concrete binding guarantees and growing ecosystem traction (multiple Rust/Go libs, Linux kernel PoC). The only frictions are non-RFC status and an instantiation-specific combiner - both manageable with guardrails.
Next
Use only via vetted libraries pinned to the X25519+ML-KEM-768 instantiation (e.g. RustCrypto x-wing, Cloudflare CIRCL); never substitute KEMs; track draft-to-RFC progression before citing it as a ratified standard in specs.
