Technical article on optimizing ML-KEM-768 (post-quantum cryptography standard) encapsulation public keys for network efficiency. Author reduces key size from 1184 to 1160 octets (24-octet reduction) using bit-packing compression techniques adapted from NTRU Prime research to fit better within IPv6 UDP packet constraints. Includes reference implementation in Hare programming language.
