x25519, MLKEM, x25519MLKEM768 x25519 is a Diffle- Hellman key exchange algorithm based on Curve25519. It is optimized for security, speed and resistance to side-channel attacks. It has been tested a lot to improve its security and  However, x25519 is an old version which is prone to quantum computing attacks, a growing concern among cybersecurity specialist. Hence why MLKEM, a newer version is introduced. It is a key encapsulation mechanism which allows two parties securely exchange a secret key over an insecure channel. MLKEM is quantum-safe but its only drawback is not being tested enough to look for bugs and vulnerabilities.  To counter this issue, both has been used together to improve the security and efficiency while still being quantum safe., hence the name x25519MLKEM768. MinIO MinIO is a cloud-native object storage which is optimized for speed, simplicity and scalability. How to install MinIO? The first step is to clone the repository from  Github  following...
