That would make it seem that the lengthy hybrid discussion in the blog is a misdirection.
I will grant you that this does support your argument.
EDIT: Actually, what you have said does not seem at all correct.
In DJB's Apon complaint, we find this text:
'For example, in
email to pqc-forum dated 30 Oct 2019 15:38:10 +0000 (2019), NIST posted technical
comments regarding hybrid encryption modes and asked for feedback “either here on
the pqc-forum or by contacting us at pqc-comments@nist.gov” (emphasis added).'
If hybrid encryption is entirely beyond the purview of the NIST PQC competition, then why did this discussion and feedback request ever take place?
- tptacek 4y agoLook, I'm just not going to dignify the argument that there is somehow some controversy over the NIST PQC contest not recommending higher-level constructions to plug PQC KEMs into Curve25519 key exchanges. I get that this seems like a super interesting controversy to you, because Bernstein's blog post is misleading you, but this simply isn't a real controversy.
