High-assurance Post-Quantum Crypto with Franziskus Kiefer and Karthik Bhargavan

Security Cryptography Whatever

We welcome Franziskus and Karthik from Cryspen to discuss their new high-assurance implementation of ML-KEM (the final form of Kyber), discussing how formal methods can both help provide correctness guarantees, security assurances, and performance wins for your crypto code!
