Quantum Resistant Cryptography Algorithms: And Integration with Certifier Framework

Abstract: In discussions held internally within the technical advisory group of the Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC), Quantum-resilient crypto was highlighted in a "gaps document". In Aug 2023, NIST released the initial public draft of two proposals: FIPS 203 and FIPS 204 - "These proposed standards specify key establishment and digital signature schemes that are designed to resist future attacks by quantum computers, which threaten the security of current standards."

John Manferdelli investigated these proposals to evaluate the effort to support these emerging standards with the Certifier Framework library. This document describes the findings from that investigation.
