#12Been waiting on this announcement for a while. As someone who took a crypto class in college, but isn't a crypto expert (just knows the basics and basic theory), this is very neat to see. I'm looking forward to never implementing it myself :)

Isn't that the point of having "hybrid" mode?

What does "djb" mean here?

What is your prediction when classical public key encryption using elliptical curve cryptographic becomes practically vulnerable to quantum computers, such that we would need these PQC algorithms.
10 years out? 20 years out? 50 years out? 100 years out?

I've been following this space for a while and this is a good question, but I think the answer is really a "ranges from 10 years to never".
There's a lot of investment currently in the quantum computer space (+ a lot of hype and scams). Yet this is still all very early research and far away from any practical use. The challenges to really build a QC that can break cryptography are enormous - and it is absolutely a possibility that they're too big to overcome.

What's the "obligatory djb warnings"? Something like "any crypto that's not mine isn't great"? ;)
