### Post-Quantum Encryption Standards

PQC implementations must be inline with [FIPS-203](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/203/ipd)/[204](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/204/ipd)/[205](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/205/ipd) as there isn't any hardened code nor implementation reference yet. https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2024/08/nist-releases-first-3-finalized-post-quantum-encryption-standards

"inline" → "in line"?

I'm not sure what to do about this part. I read it as "you'll have to care about it later" so I'm not sure it adds much information in its current form.

Maybe reword it as something like:

As there isn't any hardened code nor implementation reference available at the time of writing, this document currently does not recommend any Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) solution. An PQC implementation should be aligned with FIPS-203 and FIPS-204/205.
