Abstract:

   A Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC) can break
   traditional public-key algorithms (e.g., RSA, ECDSA), which are
   typically used for authentication in IKEv2.  Combining the post-
   quantum ML-DSA signature algorithm with a traditional signature
   algorithm provides protection against potential weaknesses or
   implementation flaws in ML-DSA.  This draft defines a hybrid PKI
   authentication method for IKEv2 using composite certificates that
   ensures authentication remains secure as long as at least one of the
   component signature algorithms remains unbroken.
