Notes on Post-Quantum Cryptography for TLS 1.2

As mentioned in previous posts , the IETF has decided not to add support for post-quantum (PQ) encryption algorithms to TLS 1.2. In fact, the TLS WG is taking a rather stronger position, namely that it's going to stop enhancing TLS 1.2 more or less entirely , including support for PQ algorithms: While the industry is waiting for NIST to finish standardization, the IETF has several efforts underway. A working group was formed in early 2013 to work on use of PQC in IETF protocols, [PQUIPWG]. Several other wor
