One aspect of the transition to post-quantum algorithms in
cryptographic protocols is the development of hybrid schemes that
incorporate both post-quantum and traditional asymmetric algorithms.
This document defines terminology for such schemes. It is intended
to be used as a reference and, hopefully, to ensure consistency and
clarity across different protocols, standards, and organisations.
This document is a product of the Post-Quantum Use In Protocols Working Group of the IETF.
