Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the quantum age we need a shield
Module learning with errors won't yield
FIPS two-oh-three has paved the way
ML-KEM keeps the hackers at bay
Lattice problems hard to solve
Around these crystals we revolve

[Chorus]
Generate, encapsulate, then decapsulate
Three phases keep our secrets safe
Polynomial rings and noise we add
Matrix math that drives them mad
ML-KEM, ML-KEM, post-quantum's here to stay
Module learning saves the day

[Verse 2]
Key generation starts the show
Secret key and public flow
Sample from the binomial
Error distribution's optimal
Matrix A times secret s
Plus the error e for stress

[Chorus]
Generate, encapsulate, then decapsulate
Three phases keep our secrets safe
Polynomial rings and noise we add
Matrix math that drives them mad
ML-KEM, ML-KEM, post-quantum's here to stay
Module learning saves the day

[Verse 3]
Encapsulation takes your message
Wraps it up like precious baggage
Random coins help mask the data
Ciphertext becomes much greater
Shared secret emerges clean
Best encryption you've ever seen

[Bridge]
Five-one-two, seven-six-eight, or one-oh-two-four
Security parameters we can't ignore
Each level brings us strength and more
Against quantum threats at our door

[Verse 4]
Decapsulation's final stage
Secret key unlocks the cage
Polynomial arithmetic flows
Through the ring where everything goes
Modulo q keeps values tight
Decryption brings the truth to light

[Chorus]
Generate, encapsulate, then decapsulate
Three phases keep our secrets safe
Polynomial rings and noise we add
Matrix math that drives them mad
ML-KEM, ML-KEM, post-quantum's here to stay
Module learning saves the day

[Outro]
When Shor's algorithm comes to play
ML-KEM will save the day
Lattice-based and quantum-proof
Mathematical unbreakable truth
