Review of subprojects

mlkem-c-aarch64

Hanno was unable to make the meeting but provided the following via discord

• MLKEM-C-AArch64 has been progressing well, we’re now – from all I know – the fastest AArch64 implementation out there. The current goal is to work through the AVX2 code from the reference implementation and fit it into a common C<-Native interface suiting both AArch64 and AVX2.

mlkem-c-libjade

• Extracted single file implementation from formosa ml-kem repo.
• Developments on proofs for fully optimized version - ideally want this first. Looking at timeline. If it takes too long will push earlier implementation from crypto this year.
• Hoping to have discussion with Matrhias on benchmarks.

mlkem-c-libcrux

• PR open for initial implementation. Reviews invited.
• need to work on process for updates. Currently has a bash script.
• Looking for volunteers to help

mlkem-c-generic

No progress on reference implementation. Proposal to discuss next time around using the aarch64 implementation for Intel ie generic.

Open TSC issues

No updates.

Any other business

• Ry. Suggest we have a logo. Have created AI generated logo - will post in discord - link
