NSA and IETF: The Fight for Fairness in Post-Quantum Cryptography

NSA and IETF: Fairness

I expose how the NSA has historically manipulated standards to weaken security, from DES to Dual_EC. Now, they are pushing the IETF to adopt solo ML-KEM, ignoring serious risks of software bugs and specification flaws. Despite objections from experts like Orr Dunkelman and Peter Gutmann, proponents try to silence dissent. I urge the community to reject this overtly NSA-driven push and demand fair, secure standards.

"NSA by the 2010s had a quarter-billion-dollar-a-year budget to covertly influence and/or overtly leverage standards and other systems to make them exploitable while the consumer and other adversaries think that the systems security remains intact."
