Dilithium

The official reference implementation of the Dilithium signature scheme, with an AVX2 version, from the pq-crystals team.

CAVX2FIPS 204

Why this is listed

The reference and AVX2 implementations of the FIPS 204 scheme are all the repository holds, readable in public, which is what this category asks of an entry.

The repository describes itself as the official reference implementation of the Dilithium signature scheme, together with an optimised implementation for x86 CPUs supporting the AVX2 instruction set. It states that Dilithium is standardised as FIPS 204.

Its front page uses the name Dilithium rather than ML-DSA, which is the name the standard itself carries. Where a project's vocabulary and a standard's vocabulary differ, this directory follows the project and says so, because a reader searching one name should still find the other.
