Summary0011526: PQ-secure TCP/UDP encryption
DescriptionWe must update our crypto.
In order to stay true to the steganographic noise requirement (Elligator) we could use a KEM combiner that uses a PQKEM which has ciphertexts that are indistinguishabled from noise.
The choices are:

ML-KEM (the compressed ciphertext is still kind of distinguishable)
NTRU-HRSS
FrodoKEM

FrodoKEM ciphertexts are much larger (10-15x), but it is more common.
PQclear implements both.
TagsNo tags attached.

Probably sntrup is better than NTRU-HRSS
