Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alice needs a secret channel, quantum threats are closing in
Bob's got FIPS two-oh-three ready, let the key encapsulation begin
Module lattice errors dancing, polynomials in disguise
Ring arithmetic protects us when quantum computers rise

[Chorus]
ML-KEM, three steps we take
Generate, encapsulate, then decrypt what we make
Kyber's crystalline structure, post-quantum armor bright
Five-twelve, seven-sixty-eight, ten-twenty-four bits of might

[Verse 2]
Key generation starts with matrices, random noise becomes our friend
Compress the public key for transport, private stays until the end
Encapsulation wraps our message in a lattice-bounded cage
Shared secret emerges clean from polynomial's careful stage

[Chorus]
ML-KEM, three steps we take
Generate, encapsulate, then decrypt what we make
Kyber's crystalline structure, post-quantum armor bright
Five-twelve, seven-sixty-eight, ten-twenty-four bits of might

[Bridge]
Learning with errors keeps us safe
When Shor's algorithm breaks RSA's face
Decapsulation reverses the dance
Module structure gives quantum no chance

[Verse 3]
Security parameters scale the fortress walls up high
Chosen ciphertext attacks bounce off our lattice sky
NIST standardized the protocol, FIPS publication sealed
Tomorrow's crypto battlefield today becomes our shield

[Chorus]
ML-KEM, three steps we take
Generate, encapsulate, then decrypt what we make
Kyber's crystalline structure, post-quantum armor bright
Five-twelve, seven-sixty-eight, ten-twenty-four bits of might

[Outro]
When quantum dawn breaks over silicon dreams
Module learning keeps our secrets wrapped in mathematical schemes
