Archived Draft Algorithm Support

This page is an archive of support for draft PQC algorithms, before standardization was completed. Most products remove support for the draft algorithms as standard algorithms are implemented.

NOTE: HSS and XMSSMT are the multi tree variants of LMS and XMSS.

NOTE: The table does not consider variants of algorithms, for example Dilithium has had many changes during the NIST rounds so a checkbox in the Dilithium column does not mean products are necessarily interoperable. Consult the vendor sections for details.

Later support for Hybrid and composite certificates will be added. General available version will be released depending on progress of standardization process.

Entrust

nShield

The Entrust nShield Post-Quantum SDK enables post-quantum cryptographic applications for nShield HSMs with the CodeSafe SDK.

PKIaaS

The Entrust ]PKI as a Service (PKIaaS)](https://www.entrust.com/digital-security/certificate-solutions/products/pki/managed-services/pki-as-a-service) for Post-Quantum Beta Program supports all three algorithms selected in round 3 of the NIST competition and can provide composite and pure quantum CA hierarchies.

EVERTRUST

EVERTRUST Stream is a PKI CA/VA/TSA and EVERTRUST Horizon is a PKI RA and CLM software. Both products are currently able to issue and manage pure-PQC and hybrid backard-compatible certificates based on Dilithium/Falcon/Sphincs+ algorithms. Released versions have support for ML-DSA (with or without prehash), pure PQC certificates, and hybrid backward-compatible certificates as per ITU-T X.509 10/19. Other algorithms and some protocol support as well as PKCS#11 support is available in beta versions, as they depend on standards that are not yet published.
