    Dont blindly believe NIST, they have a track record of intentionally standartising weaker crypto so that the NSA has it easier, heres an article from a security researcher about Kyber, the one they say is “general purpose” (warning: long): http://blog.cr.yp.to/20231003-countcorrectly.html

          Again with the fearmongering, do you not read your own source? Dual_EC_DRBG hasn’t been used for over a decade now

          On April 21, 2014, NIST withdrew Dual_EC_DRBG from its draft guidance on random number generators recommending "current users of Dual_EC_DRBG transition to one of the three remaining approved algorithms as quickly as possible.

              So why are you claiming that when people use elliptic curve cryptography, it has a backdoor? This is not true.
