[key encapsulation mechanisms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_encapsulation_mechanism) (KEM)\n  - [digital signature schemes/algorithms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature) (DSA)\n\nAll implementations in this package strive for simplicity and close resemblance with the specifications.\nThe focus is not on performance, let alone on security.\n\n## Algorithms\n\n### Winners\n\nAt the moment, NIST has published draft [Federal Information Processing Standards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Information_Processing_Standards) (FIPS) for three of the winners:\n\n  - ML-KEM\n\n      + derived from [CRYSTALS-Kyber](https://pq-crystals.org/kyber/)\n      + specified in [FIPS 203, Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism Standard](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/203/ipd)\n\n  - ML-DSA\n\n      + derived from [CRYSTALS-Dilithium](https://pq-crystals.org/dilithium/)\n      + specified in [FIPS 204, Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Standard](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/204/ipd)\n\n  - SLH-DSA\n\n      + derived from [SPHINCS+](https://sphincs.org/)\n      + specified in [FIPS 205, Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Standard](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/205/ipd)\n\nThere is one more winner with no draft standard available yet:\n\n  - [Falcon](https://falcon-sign.info/) (Fast-Fourier Lattice-based Compact Signatures over NTRU)\n\n### Candidates\n\nThe team of winners might be joined by some of the submissions to [Round 4](https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/round-4-submissions) of the standardization project.\nUp to now, three of the candidates remain unbroken.\nAll of them are [code-based](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography#Code-based_cryptography) KEM's.\nFor the time being, I've included two of them in this package:\n\n  - [BIKE](https://bikesuite.org/) (Bit Flipping Key Encapsulation)\n  - [Classic McEliece](https://classic.mceliece.org/)\n\n## Security Categories\n\nEach algorithm comes in multiple variants. They are categorized according to the believed security strength. Namely, NIST defined the following five [security strength categories](https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptography/post-quantum-cryptography-standardization/evaluation-criteria/security-(evaluation-criteria)) based on corresponding attacks on symmetric ciphers:\n\n| category | successful attack at least as hard as                              |\n|:--------:|:------------------------------------------------------------------:|\n| 1        | key search on a block cipher with a 128-bit key (e.g. AES128)      |\n| 2        | collision search on a 256-bit hash function (e.g. SHA256/SHA3-256) |\n| 3        | key search on a block cipher with a 192-bit key (e.g. AES192)      |\n| 4        | collision search on a 384-bit hash function (e.g. SHA384/SHA3-384) |\n| 5        | key search on a block cipher with a 256-bit key (e.g. AES256)      |\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ferich-9%2FNistyPQC.jl","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ferich-9%2FNistyPQC.jl","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ferich-9%2FNistyPQC.jl/lists"}
