contents Post-quantum cryptography is essential for securing digital communications against threats posed by quantum computers. Re-searchers have focused on developing algorithms that can withstand attacks from both classical and quantum computers, thereby ensuring the security of data transmissions over public networks. A critical component of this security is the key agreement protocol, which allows two parties to establish a shared secret key over an insecure channel. This paper introduces two novel post-quantum key agreement protocols that can be easily implemented on standard computers using rectangular or rank-deficient matrices, exploiting the generalizations of the matrix power function, which is a generator of NP-hard problems. We provide basic concepts and proofs, pseudocodes, examples, and a discussion of complexity.
