Post-Quantum Cryptography: Additional Digital Signature Schemes
Round 3 Additional Signatures
Official comments on the
Third Round Candidates should be submitted using the "Submit Comment" link for the appropriate algorithm. Comments from the
pqc-forum Google group subscribers will also be forwarded to the pqc-forum Google group list. We will periodically post and update the comments received to the appropriate algorithm.
All relevant comments will be posted in their entirety and should not include PII information in the body of the email message.
Please refrain from using OFFICIAL COMMENT to ask administrative questions, which should be sent to [email protected].
The rationale for choosing the Round 3 Candidates is described in NIST IR 8610, Status Report on the Second Round of the Additional Digital Signature Schemes for the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process.
The 9 candidates that will be in the 3rd round are:
