I have read pqc-auth back in December.

In the quantum-safe space we need:
1) a KEM to replace/augment (EC)DH.
2) a authentication/signature algorithm to replace RSA/ECDSA(/EDDSA)
3) a viable certification authority format

This document satisfies #2.
There is also draft-hu-ipsecme-pqt-hybrid-auth.
It would be nice if the authors could get together on this; lord knows we
don't have so many active author cycles.

It has large signatures.
We will perhaps also need:
draft-smyslov-ipsecme-ikev2-reliable-transport-03

For #1, we have:
draft-kampanakis-ml-kem-ikev2-09
and draft-wang-hybrid-kem-ikev2-frodo-02

I would prefer to have a single document: "Quantum-Safe Algorithms and
Methods for IKEv2", which took all these document together.

I would call upon the chairs to use your perogative to create a design team
on this topic, inviting the authors of all these documents to work together.

(For #3, I think we rely upon LAMPS to do it's thing.
Does someone have running code for a complete quantum-safe stack?)
