The NIST Post-Quantum Standards

ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, HQC and the stateful hash-based signatures, and how to choose between them.

  • Name the standardized post-quantum algorithms and the FIPS documents that define them
  • Explain the mathematical families behind them and why diversity of families matters
  • Select an appropriate parameter set for a given system and security requirement
  • Anticipate the engineering impact of larger keys, ciphertexts and signatures
  • Explain the special handling rules for stateful hash-based signatures
