Internet-Draft draft-ietf-mls-pq-ciphersuites-06.txt is now available. It is a
work item of the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   ML-KEM and Hybrid Cipher Suites for Messaging Layer Security
   Authors: Rohan Mahy

Abstract:

   This document registers new cipher suites for Messaging Layer
   Security (MLS) based on "post-quantum" algorithms, which are intended
   to be resilient to attack by quantum computers.  These cipher suites
   are constructed using the new Module-Lattice Key Encapsulation
   Mechanism (ML-KEM), optionally in combination with traditional
   elliptic curve KEMs, together with appropriate authenticated
   encryption, hash, and signature algorithms.
