Interesting article and discussion.

The way Signal is addressing post-quantum encryption is by layering Crystals-KYBER over their current encryption. I initially thought it was overkill, but it's a great decision.

There is np such thing as overkill while some governments actively funding quantum computing projects for the sole purpose of code cracking
