The draft standards have now been published for public review and can be found below: - [CRYSTALS-Kyber | FIPS 203 (Draft)](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.203.ipd.pdf) - [CRYSTALS-Dilithium | FIPS 204 (Draft)](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.204.ipd.pdf) - [SPHINCS+ | FIPS 205 (Draft)](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.205.ipd.pdf) A fourth scheme, Falcon, will be published soon. These Post-Quantum Cryptography schemes were co-designed by Team PQShield and have been included, following security, implementation and performance analyses by NIST. Building on PQShield’s partnership with leading industry innovators, the company is also announcing its **Enterprise Software Access Program**, which will allow eligible companies to access PQShield’s PQC Software solutions that incorporate the latest specifications released by NIST. Companies can pre-register their interest on the form provided above. The updated software will be available in September, free to use for a period of time for non-commercial purposes and will include: - **PQCryptoLib** - A fully portable cryptographic library with a C/C++ interface of FIPS 140-3-ready, post-quantum (PQC) and classical cryptographic algorithms. - **PQCryptoLib Micro** - This is a highly-optimised version of PQCryptoLib, specifically designed for memory-constrained platforms like microcontrollers. - **PQSDK** - provides easy-to-use software implementations of both post-quantum and classical cryptographic primitives, including an integration of PQShield’s PQCryptoLib library with popular high-level cryptography libraries like OpenSSL and mbedTLS. Please pre-register your interest on the form provided above and we will be in touch with you shortly.   ## Pre-Register Here ## You might also like ![Hubspot_Whitepaper Colour](https://content.pqshield.com/hubfs/Brand/2023/Hubspot_Whitepaper%20Colour.png) Whitepaper #### Where is your Cryptography?
