Announcing Request for Nominations for Public-Key Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms

A Notice by the National Institute of Standards and Technology on 12/20/2016

This notice solicits nominations from any interested party for candidate algorithms to be considered for public-key post-quantum standards.  The submission requirements and the minimum acceptability requirements of a “complete and proper” candidate algorithm submission, as well as the evaluation criteria that will be used to appraise the candidate algorithms, can be found at http://www.nist.gov/ pqcrypto.

Proposals must be received by November 30, 2017. Further details are available at http://www.nist.gov/ pqcrypto.
