Making post-quantum cryptography more accessible to developers — meet NEXUS-Q

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm the creator of NEXUS-Q, an open-source post-quantum cryptography project built in Rust.

I started building NEXUS-Q because I saw a gap between the growing importance of post-quantum cryptography and how accessible practical tools are for developers.

The goal is to bring useful cryptographic capabilities together in one developer-oriented project, including:

• Post-quantum key encapsulation with ML-KEM.

• Digital signatures with ML-DSA and SLH-DSA.

• Hybrid cryptography options.

• Authenticated encryption and key management.

• A command-line interface for practical workflows.

The core development is complete, and an independent external security audit is still pending.

I'd love to hear from the community:

What do you think is the biggest barrier preventing developers from experimenting with and adopting post-quantum cryptography today?

I'd really appreciate your thoughts, questions, and honest feedback!
