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.

Show HN: filippo.io/mlkem768 – Post-Quantum Cryptography for the Go Ecosystem
How about liboqs from OpenQuantumSafe? It includes an implementation of most PQC primitives proposed to date:

2048 Bit RSA and the Year 2030
Part of the issue as a prospective cryptographic user/consumer is that not only do I not know which algorithm(s) should be used, the most likely library https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs also explicitly states that it shouldn't be used in production.
Hybrid deployment (E.G. with ECC using a curve like 25519) is a great recommendation and probably obvious, far more so than picking a winner among the available post quantum possibly safe algorithms.

Changing default Openssl signature algorithm and key exchange algorithm to use PQC Dilithium and Kyber
Hi everyone! I am currently trying to modify some settings within OpenSSL. My goal is to change the default algorithms that OpenSSL uses for generating certificates and signatures, as well as the key exchange method. Specifically, I want OpenSSL to default to the ones provided by OQS (https://openquantumsafe.org/), Dilithium and Kyber.

What's the strongest encryption available for Python and which library do you use to implement it?
One thing I will mention for "most secure" is that you could add a second layer of encryption based on liboqs which aims to be quantum resistant (mostly important for asymmetric algorithms, symmetric algorithms are already thought to be quantum resistant). We don't know if any of the quantum resistant algorithms are any good or not. They could all be broken, so only use them as a second layer on top of existing encryption schemes, but if you want "the best", then that's what I would do: use standard tools with the biggest variants of the algorithm and then put a layer of post-quantum crypto on top of it.
