hpke-ng: Faster, Smaller, Harder HPKE for Rust

Across 62 head-to-head benchmarks against hpke-rs, hpke-ng wins 43 — including ML-KEM decap at 53–55% faster, X-Wing decap at 38%, X25519 decap at 41%, and every post-quantum encap/decap row a clean win — ties 14, ships a 30% smaller binary, and a type system that catches four classes of bug at compile time.

Hybrid Constructions Are a Safety Blanket, and That's Fine

Why Symbolic Software agrees with Soatok's position on hybrid post-quantum constructions: hybrids are compelling for KEMs, far less necessary for signatures, and the real risk is migration friction.

Even More Bugs in Cryspen's libcrux: ML-DSA

Three findings in libcrux's ML-DSA implementation: a verifier norm check that is dead code due to a wrong constant, a missing bounds check in hint deserialization, and a wrong multiplication specification that renders AVX2 proofs unsound.
