Factchecking has always been a part of the journalistic process. However with newsroom budgets shrinking it is coming under increasing pressure just as the amount of false information circulating is on the rise. We therefore propose a method to increase the efficiency of the factchecking process, using the latest developments in Natural Language Processing (NLP). This method allows us to compare incoming claims to an existing corpus and return similar, factchecked, claims in a live system-allowing factcheckers to work simultaneously without duplicating their work.

Introduced as a new protocol first implemented in Google Chrome Canary, New Hope is engineered as post-quantum cryptography for the TLS 1.2 protocol. The structure of the exchange is lattice based, implementing Peikert's key encapsulation mechanism as a modified form of ring learning with errors. The search space used to introduce the closest-vector problem is generated by the intersection of a tesseract and hexadecachoron. This intersection results in a 24-cell Voronoi tessellation. With respect to this tessellation, New Hope may not withstand inversion attempts augmented with Grover's search algorithm.
