The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Use of the ML-DSA Signature Algorithm in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)' (draft-ietf-lamps-cms-ml-dsa-06.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and SMIME Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters and Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-cms-ml-dsa/ Technical Summary The Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA), as defined in FIPS 204, is a post-quantum digital signature scheme that aims to be secure against an adversary in possession of a Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC). This document specifies the conventions for using the ML-DSA signature algorithm with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). In addition, the algorithm identifier and public key syntax are provided. Working Group Summary There is support in the LAMPS WG for this document. The discussion was very active, and LAMPS WG consensus was reached. Even though this particular draft does not specify private key format, the discussion around that topic had to be concluded before this draft could move forward. There was much controversy, especially about the private key format. The LAMPS WG reached a place that everyone can live with the result, even if everyone is not happy. That is, the document represents a place where all parties are equally unhappy. Document Quality Only ASN.1 is used and it compiles without error. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Russ Housley. The Responsible Area Director is Deb Cooley. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
