What Hacker News says

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?
