Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Too early to adopt

Why
Genuinely important for non-lattice signature diversity, but the cohort is mid-competition, actively being broken/tweaked, and years from any standard.
Next
Monitor only; rely on standardized ML-DSA/SLH-DSA (and later FN-DSA) for signatures and revisit when one of the nine reaches a draft FIPS after Round 3.
