Comment on NSA tries to weaken mlkem standardisation?parent

Comments

I've read the emails on that list in which DJB is accused of unprofessional behavior. Dave's concerns are not only relevant and well considered, he's taken an extraordinary amount of time to outline them and the discussion around them (both pros and cons) which you can see here: https://blog.cr.yp.to/20260221-structure.html

He's also responded directly to criticisms: https://nsa.2026.action.cr.yp.to/guide.html

By comparison the so-called "unprofessional behavior" cited is the sort of subjective abject procedural bureaucratic bullpucky often used to shut down inconveniently correct criticism.

Like, who is "Dave"?

Sorry, Daniel. I know better, but the fingers typed what they typed. I seem to be sick this morning so perhaps I was already coming down with something. :-/
