By Renato LosioStandardizing Post-Quantum IPsec: Cloudflare Adopts Hybrid ML-KEM to Replace Ciphersuite Bloat
Cloudflare has extended hybrid post-quantum encryption to IPsec and WAN traffic, standardizing its SASE stack ahead of the NIST 2030 deadline. By adopting a streamlined ML-KEM key exchange, the move addresses long-standing "ciphersuite bloat" in quantum-resistant IPsec. The update aims to neutralize "harvest now, decrypt later" threats without requiring specialized hardware upgrades.
By Steef-Jan WiggersNew Research Reassesses the Value of AGENTS.md Files for AI Coding
Despite widespread industry recommendations, a new ETH Zurich paper concludes that AGENTS.md files may often hinder AI coding agents. The researchers recommend omitting LLM-generated context files entirely and limiting human-written instructions to non-inferable details, such as highly specific tooling or custom build commands.
