Kyber is a fictional thing, so I understand that it's a Star Wars reference. But Dilithium is a real thing, so not sure why that would be a Star Trek reference? Couldn't it just be a reference to the real thing somehow?

#5Is there any alternative organizations like NIST but not-NIST?
That NIST worked together with NSA to allow/insert backdoors into cryptography kind of left a sour taste in my mouth, and it's hard to trust them again after that.

#6Does 'quantum-resistant' also imply 'P=NP' resistant?

I would guess that since the other is a Star Wars reference Dilithium is meant to be Star Trek. It follows the pattern, and Dilithium is a famous reference for those who follow Star Trek.

I can't imagine with the added scrutiny the internet has gotten since then, especially from foreign governments, that NIST will be able to get away with anything like that again.
But then again I may be completely ignorant as to the scope of NSA meddling.

Wikipedia says that Dilithium exists when Lithium is in the gas phase i.e. not crystalline. So, CRYSTALS-Dilithium presumably refers to Dilithium Crystals which are often referred to in Star Trek.
