NIST Advances Nine Post-Quantum Digital Signature Candidates to Third Evaluation Round

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has transitioned nine cryptographic algorithms to the third round of its Additional Digital Signature Selection Project, as detailed in NIST Internal Report (IR) 8610. Initiated in September 2022 to diversify the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) portfolio beyond structured lattice-based designs—such as the previously standardized ML-DSA and FN-DSA schemes—the [...] The post NIST Advances N…
