Post-quantum cryptography is rapidly moving from the realm of NIST standards to running in production. The threat of quantum computing advances and coming regulations are driving this acceleration. One major component on the PQC migration plan for companies is VPN. In this episode we look at the Ambit corporate VPN client, which uses a standardized NIST PQC cipher: ML-KEM. Did you know there are potential gotchas with trying hybrids of classical and PQC instead? Find out the technical and philosophical reasons why the developers chose to skip offering a hybrid option. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Kevin Kane and Andrew McElroy from American Binary.
