No, nobody is asking you to trust NIST.

Did you really need me to specify rhetorically speaking? You weren't able to work out that on your own?

Nobody is even rhetorically asking you to trust NIST.

If you run a server using TLS, and that server select Kyber, does the security of the connection depend on Kyber being sound? If I need to trust the security of the connection. I have to trust the server, because the server trusts Kyber, that means I have to trust Kyber, because I have to trust the server.

> you don't have to trust the server

oh, sorry I should have realized this wasn't a conversation anymore

I don't even know who you're replying to anymore; who are you quoting? You get that you and I are the only people reading this, right? You're not going to convince me; you already opened this conversation up by acknowledging you're totally unfamiliar with the field you're commenting on.

Nah, that's on me: I was irked by the feeling that you weren't trying to talk in good faith. I still don't think you're trying to but at least now I'm less annoyed, and can apologize for trying to troll you in my last msg.

Good luck buddy :)
