For people wondering why the Kyber team has suddenly expanded to include Jintai Ding: There's a fascinating back story. For details see my January blog post "Plagiarism as a patent amplifier: Understanding the delayed rollout of post-quantum cryptography": https://blog.cr.yp.to/20220129-plagiarism.html

For some reason NIST left this interesting change in team composition out of its so-called "history" file https://web.archive.org/web/20220702005753/https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/documents/round-3/history-pqc-round-3-updates.pdf, and has also now broken many links. We were watching and saved the change shortly after it happened: https://web.archive.org/web/20220622020912/https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/round-3-submissions https://web.archive.org/web/20220702005741/https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/round-3-submissions
