Let’s All Agree to Use Seeds as ML-KEM Keys

NIST's ML-KEM post-quantum standard allows storing private keys as 64-byte seeds instead of 3.2 KB expanded format, eliminating validation bugs and ecosystem fragmentation.

AI security leaders gather in Washington as risks mount—and Mythos raises the stakes

Advanced models like Anthropic's Mythos are accelerating vulnerability discovery, pushing AI security standards bodies toward continuous dynamic security updates rather than static patching approaches.

Quantum Computers Are Not a Threat to 128-Bit Symmetric Keys

Symmetric cryptography like AES remains quantum-safe due to parallelization constraints limiting Grover's algorithm; only asymmetric crypto (RSA, ECDH) requires post-quantum migration.

NIST gives up enriching most CVEs

NIST abandons CVE enrichment for most vulnerabilities due to resource constraints, focusing only on actively exploited flaws and critical software like OSes and browsers—leaving the bulk of the vulnerability landscape sparsely documented.
