Kyber Post-Quantum KEM

This is the working area for the individual Internet-Draft, "Kyber Post-Quantum KEM". It described Kyber, NIST's pick for post-quantum key agreement.

It also contains "machine-readable" specification of Kyber in Python.

Very much work-in-progress at the moment!

NOTE This draft is not stable and does not (yet) match the final NIST standard expected in 2024. Currently it matches Kyber as submitted to round 3 of the NIST PQC process.
