Track; not yet
- Why
- Real algorithm, NIST-selected and code-based diversity is strategically valuable, but it is an unfrozen draft with materially larger keys/ciphertexts and higher cost than ML-KEM, which remains primary.
- Next
- Watch for the draft FIPS 207 publication in 2026 and pin to ML-KEM as primary; only prototype HQC as a code-based hedge once the FIPS wire format is frozen.
