CRYSTALS-Dilithium - Post-Quantum Digital Signature IP Core

Overview

Post-quantum CRYSTALS-Dilithium Digital Signature IP Core from ResQuant supports key generation, signing and signature verification operations for II, III and IV level of security.

Dilithium is scheduled as default & preferred mechanism for performing Digital Signatures from 2025 and mandatory from 2030 by US National Security Agency (NSA).

ResQuant will include any further updates proposed by NIST to the final standard.
