The pyca/cryptography project adds Python support for ML-KEM and ML-DSA, NIST-standard primitives for key establishment and digital signatures. The work receives funding from the Sovereign Tech Agency as the U.S. government accelerates its post-quantum cryptography transition.

Why it matters
Adding standardized post-quantum cryptographic primitives to a widely used Python ecosystem makes them more accessible to developers preparing systems for the transition. It also supports the broader effort to replace cryptography vulnerable to future quantum attacks.
