This situation is actually more complex than the summary implies. NIST is conducting a competition for post-quantum key exchange and signature algorithms. NTRU Prime did not make the cut as a key exchange finalist. It appears that NTRU Prime is going ahead in OpenSSH, without any formal endorsement from NIST. In the notes listing NTRU Prime as an alternate (and rejection as a finalist), Daniel J. Bernstein filed a complaint with his experience at NIST: https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/round-3-submissions https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/rou... "Formal complaint regarding 8 June 2021 incident - 2021.06.15, Daniel J. Bernstein..." "Executive summary. A week ago Dr. Daniel Apon from NIST publicly accused me of professional misconduct. Specifically, he accused me of initiating private contact with NIST so as to provide false information to NIST regarding the timing of an upcoming announcement relevant to NIST’s ongoing decisions..." It is unfortunate that this disfunction has a practical impact upon OpenSSH.
