I’m very happy to share that two of my post-quantum signature candidates — MQOM and SDitH — have advanced to Round 3 of the ongoing NIST process 🎉 👏 Congrats to the teams behind these submissions. It has been a great journey so far, and I’m excited for what comes next. 👉 mqom.org 👉 sdith.org

Tomorrow, I’ll present SmallWood at the NIST MPTS workshop (csrc.nist.gov/events/2026/...) a preview submission to the NIST MPTC process. SmallWood is a hash-based (plausibly post-quantum) zero-knowledge proof system with competitive proof sizes for relatively small instances. 📄 ia.cr/2025/1085
