Are you in the US and want to work on Smartcards? My employer has a position available: https://redhat.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/jobs/job/Senior-Software-Engineer-in-Crypto--Smart-Cards-_R-056859
(It says Raleigh, but in the likely event that we can't find anybody around there, remote will be considered.)

I think the hard part is done, it's all open source. Go for it!
Might want to wait for my FOSDEM talk where I speak about the road to PQC for Fedora, though. I'm guessing a few things from that might be relevant for Arch, too.

#RedHat just shipped its first RPM signed with #PostQuantum #Cryptography, completing a major push across multiple teams to make this happen.
`ipmitool-1.8.19-10.el10_1` from https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2025:23156:
```
[root@rhel-10-1 ~]# rpmkeys -Kv ipmitool-1.8.19-10.el10_1.aarch64.rpm |& head -3
ipmitool-1.8.19-10.el10_1.aarch64.rpm:

Not just anybody. djb is a pretty well-known cryptographer. He helped design the EdDSA signature scheme.
Not the first time he's posted a lengthy PDF attempting to make a point, either.

Elevate is a fork of LEAPP, which is the tool for RHEL to do that. The upstream repos for that are at https://github.com/oamg/leapp and https://github.com/oamg/leapp-repository.
