 ## SerializeKey and DeserializeKey
 
 The serialization routine for keys simply concatenates the fixed-length public or private keys of the component signatures, as defined below:
-~~~
-Composite-ML-DSA.SerializeKey(key) -> bytes
-
-Explicit Input:
-
-  key    Composite ML-DSA public key or private key
-
-Implicit inputs:
-
-  ML-DSA   A placeholder for the specific ML-DSA algorithm and
-           parameter set to use, for example, could be "ML-DSA-65".
-
-  Trad     A placeholder for the specific traditional algorithm and
-           parameter set to use, for example "RSA" or "ECDSA".
-
-Output:
-
-  bytes   The encoded public key
-
-Serialization Process:
-
-  1. Separate the  keys
-
-     (mldsaKey, tradKey) = key
-
-  2. Serialize each of the constituent public keys
-
-     mldsaEncodedKey = MLDSA.SerializeKey(mldsaKey)
-     tradEncodedKey = Trad.SerializeKey(tradKey)
-
-  3. Calculate the length encoding of the mldsaEncodedPK (or use the value from table )
-
-     encodedLength = IntegerToBytes(mldsaEncodePK.length, 3)
-
-  4. Combine and output the encoded public key
-
-     bytes = encodedLength || mldsaEncodedPK || tradEncodedPK
-     output bytes
