Yes, sounds good

Rust Security Tooling and Quantum Safe Algos Resources

Yeah, quantum safe algorithms should be covered there, although the section could probably be updated with some new crates which have recently appeared

Most CSPRNGs are already quantum-safe, as in they can't be easily attacked using Grover's Algorithm
