Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Falcon offers the most compact signatures but is still pre-/early-draft, carries documented floating-point/side-channel implementation hazards, and is positioned as special-purpose — not a default signing primitive today.
Next
Default to ML-DSA (FIPS 204, final) for signatures; revisit FN-DSA only after the FIPS 206 public draft lands and validated constant-time implementations exist.
