RE: [pkcs11-comment] RE: Status of PQC Algorithms

Hi,

no, I donât have a standard yet.  I was just anticipating NIST finalizing their efforts.  I was hoping someone may be proactively moving a proposal forward in this space.  But I certainly understand if no one has taken that work on yet as it could result in a lot of wasted time/effort.

 

Thanks

Hi Darren,

 

You are right, there have been no proposals for PQC algorithms, other than HSS.

 

There are no approved standards to point to. I you have a PQC algorithm with an approved standard (which also isn't broken;). Please support it. We expect to pick up algorithms in 3.2.

Best regards,

Dieter

Hi,

Iâve seen various proposals related to some of the hash based signature schemes.  But I havenât noticed any proposals for the other types of PQC algorithms (signature, key agreement and key encapsulation) that are being standardized.

 

Have there been proposals submitted in this area?  Is this a work in progress?

 

Thanks

Darren
