ML-KEM Definition: ML-KEM is NIST's FIPS 203 post-quantum key encapsulation standard, based on CRYSTALS-Kyber and using module lattices to resist quantum attacks.
ML-KEM, the Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism, is the post-quantum key establishment standard published by NIST as FIPS 203 in 2024 and derived from the CRYSTALS-Kyber submission. As a KEM, it lets two parties establish a shared secret resistant to attacks by large-scale quantum computers, offering parameter sets ML-KEM-512, ML-KEM-768, and ML-KEM-1024 at increasing security levels.
ML-KEM is one of the topics you'll master in the Security+ Boot Camp.
