Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
HAWK was a lattice-based post-quantum digital signature scheme whose authors withdrew it after the Mythos cryptanalytic attack broke its security argument. Its withdrawal is itself the technically significant event: a candidate signature scheme failing analysis narrows the field of viable post-quantum alternatives.
