Abstract:

   This document defines a post-quantum public key algorithm extension
   for the OpenPGP protocol, extending [RFC9580].  Given the generally
   assumed threat of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, this
   extension provides a basis for long-term secure OpenPGP signatures
   and ciphertexts.  Specifically, it defines composite public key
   encryption based on ML-KEM (formerly CRYSTALS-Kyber), composite
   public key signatures based on ML-DSA (formerly CRYSTALS-Dilithium),
   both in combination with elliptic curve cryptography, and SLH-DSA
   (formerly SPHINCS+) as a standalone public key signature scheme.
