Why I chose a hybrid post-quantum design (ML-KEM-768 + X25519) for encrypted cloud storage

I'm building SecVault, a zero-knowledge encrypted cloud storage service. Files are encrypted on your device before upload, so the server never sees plaintext.

  • Hybrid key encapsulation mechanism combines new ML-KEM-768 with battle-tested X25519.
  • Service offers file encryption, access revocation, and EU-based data storage.
