  • The essence of our protocol upgrade from X3DH to PQXDH is to compute a shared secret, data known only to the parties involved in a private communication session, using both the elliptic curve key agreement protocol X25519 and the post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism CRYSTALS-Kyber. We then combine these two shared secrets together so that any attacker must break both X25519 and CRYSTALS-Kyber to compute the same shared secret.

    Not an expert, but what i read here is that they will be using 2 locks. e.g. one traditional key based lock and another fingerprint based lock, and when you need to open the door, you need to open both the locks.

    Suse tumbleweed is kinda bad though. The docs are always outdated with broken links. nothing works out of the box. Yaast is kind of clunky, and looks ancient, looks wise. Updates are slow and I got tired real fast resolving broken dependncies.

    Their plasma+firefox patches nice though.
