Selected Algorithms
Official comments on the Selected Algorithms should be submitted using the "Submit Comment" link for the appropriate algorithm. Comments from the pqc-forum Google group subscribers will also be forwarded to the pqc-forum Google group list. We will periodically post and update the comments received to the appropriate algorithm.
All relevant comments will be posted in their entirety and should not include PII information in the body of the email message.
Please refrain from using OFFICIAL COMMENT to ask administrative questions, which should be sent to [email protected]
July 2022: The rationale for choosing the selected algorithms for standardization is described in NIST IR 8413, Status Report on the Third Round of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process
March 2025: The rationale for choosing the HQC algorithm for standardization is described in NIST IR 8545, Status Report on the Fourth Round of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process.
