What Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Standard requires
This standard specifies ML-DSA, a set of algorithms that can be used to generate and verify digital signatures which are used to detect unauthorized modifications to data and to authenticate the identity of the signatory. ML-DSA is a lattice-based digital signature algorithm believed to be secure, even against adversaries in possession of a large-scale quantum computer, and provides for non-repudiation. The standard specifies the mathematical steps that need to be performed for key generation, signature generation, and signature verification. ML-DSA can be used in electronic mail, electronic funds transfer, software distribution, data storage, and other applications that require data integrity assurance and data origin authentication. This standard is applicable to all federal departments and agencies for the protection of sensitive unclassified information. The core obligation is that either this standard, FIPS 205, FIPS 186-5, or NIST Special Publication 800-208 shall be used in designing and implementing public-key-based signature systems that federal departments and agencies operate or that are operated for them under contract. Implementations must employ cryptographic algorithms approved for protecting Federal Government-sensitive information. The security of a digital signature system depends on maintaining the secrecy of the signatory’s private keys, and signatories shall guard against the disclosure of their private keys. The adoption and use of this standard are also available to private and commercial organizations.
