Hi all,

NIST announced the first four quantum resistant cryptographic algorithms 
a few days back. Matching the earlier discussions on this list, NIST 
also selected FALCON for the case where smaller signatures are required. 
>From what I understand of the process there is still a document that 
should be released soon(tm) with the exact parameters that should be 
used for the algorithms. In any case I think this is good news for us as 
one of the selected algorithms matches what was preferred from the SUIT 
side.

To be complete, the other algorithms selected are Dilithium and 
SPHINCS+, where Dilithium has large signatures (2.5 KB) and SPHINCS+ has 
even larger signatures (17 KB).

Best Regards,
Koen Zandberg
