FIPS204Ready: ML-DSA-Signaturen, Parameter-Benchmarks & PKI-Transformation

FIPS204Ready liefert fundierte technische Referenzarchitekturen für die Migration von X.509-PKI, Code-Signierung und digitalen Authentifizierungssystemen von verwundbaren RSA- und ECDSA-Verfahren zu NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA (ehemals CRYSTALS-Dilithium).

Central System: ML-DSA Engine - FIPS 204 Signer

Cryptographic Nodes

  • Fiat-Shamir
  • Rejection Sampling
  • ML-DSA-65
  • Composite PKI
  • Root CA

Architectural Layers & Protocols

  • Fiat-Shamir with Aborts (Module Learning With Errors & Short Integer Solution (M-SIS)): Generating non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs over polynomial rings
  • NIST ML-DSA Parameter Sets (44, 65, 87) (NIST Security Levels 2, 3, and 5): Balancing signature byte length against computational verification throughput
  • Composite & Hybrid X.509 Certificates (IETF Dual-Algorithm Certificate Architecture): Embedding classical ECDSA alongside ML-DSA to ensure backward compatibility during migration
  • Hardware Root CA & Timestamping Services (FIPS 140-3 Physical HSM Partitioning): Issuing post-quantum cross-signed certificates with trusted RFC 3161 timestamps

Key Metrics: 3,309 B (ML-DSA-65 Signature Size) | 1,952 B (Public Key Size) | Category 3 (NIST Security Category) | Zero-Leakage (Rejection Sampling Guarantee)

Schutz der globalen digitalen Identität vor Quantenfälschung

While key exchange protects confidentiality, digital signatures protect authenticity and integrity. If signatures are broken by a quantum computer, adversaries can forge software updates, issue fraudulent certificates, and impersonate sovereign identities.
