Abstract

This document describes JSON and CBOR serializations for Falcon, a Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) signature suite. This document does not define any new cryptography, only seralizations of existing cryptographic systems. This document registers key types for JOSE and COSE, specifically NTRU. Key types in this document are specified by the cryptographic algorithm family in use by a particular algorithm as discussed in RFC7517. This document registers signature algorithms types for JOSE and COSE, specifically FALCON1024 and others as required for use of various parameterizations of the Falcon post-quantum signature scheme. Note to RFC Editor: FALCON is described and noted as a part of the 2022 PQC Selected Digital Signature Algorithims (https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/selected- algorithms-2022) As a result, this document should not be proceed to AUTH48 until NIST completes paramter tuning and selection as a part of the PQC (https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptography) standardization process.
