Kemeleon encodings

Abstract

This document specifies Kemeleon encoding algorithms for encoding ML-KEM encapsulation keys and ciphertexts as random bytestrings. Kemeleon encodings provide obfuscation of encapsulation keys and ciphertexts, relying on module LWE assumptions.

Keywords: post-quantum cryptography, obfuscation
