  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.
