secp256r1mlkem768

secp256r1MLKEM768 is a post-quantum hybrid combining the NIST P-256 curve (secp256r1) with ML-KEM-768. This hybrid provides quantum resistance while using NIST-approved classical cryptography, making it attractive for government and enterprise environments that require FIPS compliance. Like X25519MLKEM768, it protects against future quantum computers by combining classical and post-quantum algorithms. The use of secp256r1 instead of X25519 may be preferred in regulated industries due to established certification and compliance requirements. ML-KEM-768 provides NIST security level 3, equivalent to approximately AES-192. Browser support is emerging alongside X25519MLKEM768 as part of the industry transition to post-quantum cryptography.
