Selected Algorithms from the KpqC Competition Round 1
(December 7, 2023)
After nearly a year of evaluation, the KpqC team is pleased to announce the algorithms that will advance to the KpqC Competition Round 2.
The following are eight Round 2 candidates.
| Digital Signature | PKE/KEM |
|---|---|
| AIMer | NTRU+ |
| HAETAE | PALOMA |
| MQ-Sign | REDOG |
| NCC-Sign | SMAUG+TiGER (merged) |
We would like to thank all the Round 1 submission teams for their efforts in this competition. They did have an impact on the maturation of the PQC fields in South Korea during Round 1.
We also want to thank the public reviewers for their interests in and comments on the KpqC algorithms. Better outcomes were achieved as a result of public scrutiny and analysis.
Lastly, we would like to thank all the people who assisted us and gave constructive comments to enhance the KpqC Round 1.
