JEP proposed to target JDK 24: 497: Quantum-Resistant Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 24:

  497: Quantum-Resistant Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/497

  Summary: Enhance the security of Java applications by providing an
  implementation of the quantum-resistant Module-Lattice-Based Digital
  Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA).  Digital signatures are used to detect
  unauthorized modifications to data and to authenticate the identity of
  signatories.  ML-DSA is designed to be secure against future quantum
  computing attacks.  It has been standardized by the United States
  National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in FIPS 204.

The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Thu 21 Nov 20:00 UTC:

    https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-dev/2024-November/009643.html

If there are no unresolved objections at that time, then the JEP will be moved
to the Targeted state, indicating that the feature is expected to appear in
the specified release of the JDK Project.  For more information about states,
see the JEP Process document:
