Understanding the Dual Nature of Hybrid Cryptography in Post-Quantum Security

When people talk about “hybrid” in post-quantum cryptography, they often mean different things and that confusion can stall momentum.

In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, DigiCert’s Kevin Hilscher explains why disambiguating hybrid is critical:
✅ Hybrid key exchange (pairing PQC with RSA/ECC for TLS handshakes)
✅ Hybrid certificates (dual-signed X.509s, still stuck in competing standards)
✅ Why clarity on definitions matters for planning and progress

Understand the difference now so your migration plans don’t get stuck waiting on unfinished standards.
