Energy Consumption of Post-Quantum Cryptography on Constrained and General-Purpose Architectures

With Q-day approaching, the transition to post-quantum cryptography PQC has begun, with governments across the US, UK and EU mandating migration to quantum-resistant standards. This paper benchmarks the three NIST-standardised PQC algorithms - FIPS 203 ML-KEM, FIPS 204 ML-DSA and FIPS 205 SLH-DSA...

Domain Specific Post Quantum Signatures for Blockchains

Blockchains need more than post quantum single signer signatures. They need consensus profiled authentication objects with canonical bytes, priced invalid input rejection, stable transaction identifiers, hybrid downgrade resistance, public aggregation, merge semantics, accountable signer evidence...

RUSTSEC-2026-0160 `pqcrypto-sphincsplus` is unmaintained: upstream PQClean project being archived

This crate provides Rust bindings to SPHINCS+/SLH-DSA FIPS 205 via C implementations from PQClean. The PQClean project is being archived in or after July 2026 see PQClean/PQClean604, after which no further security patches or bug fixes will be applied to the upstream implementations. As a result,...
