A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Chrome to shield encryption keys from promised quantum computers (www.theregister.com)

Devon O'Brien, technical program manager for Chrome security, explained on Thursday that starting in Chrome 116 – due August 15 – Google's browser will include support for X25519Kyber768, an alphanumeric salad that desperately needs a catchy name.

The unwieldy term is a concatenation of X25519, an elliptic curve algorithm that's currently used in the key agreement process for establishing a secure TLS connection, and Kyber-768, a quantum-resistant KEM that last year won NIST's blessing for post-quantum cryptography.

Your answer is much shorter and to the point, but for the people that understand things better with visuals, here's a Veritasium video about this exact thing

Timestamp 17:50 if you want to skip directly to lattice cryptography.

Thank you for linking it! It's a lot easier to understand when you have images to go with it, and he goes into details about the actual cryptography that I glossed over.
