NIST Standardization of Additional Post-Quantum Signature Schemes

Learn about NIST's latest standardization efforts for additional signature schemes in this 36-minute presentation delivered by Andrew Regenscheid, Manager of the Cryptographic Technology Group at NIST. Explore the selection process and evaluation criteria behind the 14 Second-Round candidates chosen from 40 First-Round submissions, including notable algorithms like CROSS, LESS, and MAYO. Gain insights into how these candidates were evaluated based on security measures, performance metrics, and unique algorithmic characteristics. Understand NIST's strategic approach to diversifying post-quantum cryptographic standards and discover the potential applications of each selected scheme. Follow along as the presentation outlines key innovations in the field and details the upcoming phases in the standardization process.
