CISA confirms exploitation of a Linux firewall flaw. Check if your systems need the fix. ×

## This update for libsodium fixes the following issues: Update to 1.0.22 (jsc#PED-16890): * Post-quantum key encapsulation is now available. ML-KEM768, the NIST- standardized lattice-based KEM, is accessible through the crypto_kem_mlkem768_*() functions. * X-Wing, a hybrid KEM combining ML-KEM768 with X25519 for protection against both classical and quantum adversaries, is available through the crypto_kem_*() functions. X-Wing is the recommended KEM for most applications. * SHA-3 hash functions are now available as crypto_hash_sha3256__() and crypto_hash_sha3512__(), with both one-shot and streaming APIs. * Performance: NEON optimizations for Argon2 on ARM platforms. * Performance: SHA3 (Keccak1600) now leverages ARM SHA3 instructions when available on ARM platforms.
