Post-Quantum Cryptography

Outlines the key sizes and other parameters for each of these new PQC standards. It also mentions that NIST will be developing a validation program to test implementations of these new standards.

ML-KEM (Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism): A key encapsulation mechanism based on the CRYSTALS-Kyber algorithm, which is believed to be secure against quantum computer attacks. ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Standard): A digital signature algorithm based on the CRYSTALS-Dilithium algorithm, also believed to be secure against quantum threats. SLH-DSA (Stateless hash-based signature standard): A hash-based digital signature algorithm based on the SPHINCS+ algorithm, which is also designed to be secure against quantum computing attacks.
