Hybrid Constructions: The Post-Quantum Safety Blanket

The funny thing about safety blankets is they can double as stage curtains for security theater. Art: CMYKat "When will a cryptography relevant quantum computer exist?" is a question many technologists are pondering as they stare into crystal balls or entrails. Two people I admire recently made a public long bet about that question, with a $5000 donation to charity as stakes.

@soatok The singular other advantage EdDSA has over ML-DSA is signature size. Even more so if you have to send over the public key as well. But the problems where you have that extreme size constraints *and* require signatures over e.g. MACs are pretty rare to begin with, so it's definitely a the nichest of advantages. So yeah, ML-DSA all the way ^^

@dequbed I'm excited for SQISign (or whatever future iteration of it survives NIST)
