RFC 9794: Terminology for Post-Quantum Traditional Hybrid Schemes

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

One aspect of the transition to post-quantum algorithms in cryptographic protocols is the development of hybrid schemes that incorporate both post-quantum and traditional asymmetric algorithms. This document defines terminology for such schemes. It is intended to be used as a reference and, hopefully, to ensure consistency and clarity across different protocols, standards, and organisations.
