Python Now Has a Post-Quantum Encryption Library

The Python cryptography library now includes post-quantum cryptographic primitives ML-KEM and ML-DSA, both NIST-approved standards for key establishment and digital signatures. The implementation, funded by the Sovereign Tech Agency, makes post-quantum cryptography available to the broader Python ecosystem through a simple package installation.

Why it matters: Development teams using Python need to begin evaluating and integrating post-quantum cryptography into their systems now, before quantum computing poses an active threat, to ensure crypto-agility and protect against future decryption of currently intercepted data.
