Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Quantum Computers Break Encryption in China But Far From Cracking Bitcoin
I wouldn’t even be worried about the banks, any mode of encryption used for data would be at stake, but there’s already some algos that are quantum secure made by Crystal Kyber. Here’s their git repo: https://github.com/pq-crystals/kyber.git

NSA, NIST, and post-quantum cryptography
So, question then, isn't one of the differences between this time's selection, compared to previous selections, that some of the algorithms are open source with their code available.
For example, Kyber, one of the finalists, is here: https://github.com/pq-crystals/kyber
And where it's not open source, I believe in the first round submissions, everyone included reference implementations.
Does the code being available make it easy to verify whether there are some shady/shenanigans going on, even without NIST's cooperation?
