mldsa-native

A portable C90 implementation of the ML-DSA signature standard, supported by the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance.

C90FIPS 204Apache 2.0

Why this is listed

It ships one thing, a C90 implementation of FIPS 204, under Apache 2.0, ISC and MIT, and versions and gets reviewed on its own rather than inside a product.

The repository describes mldsa-native as a secure, fast and portable C90 implementation of the ML-DSA post-quantum signature standard, implementing FIPS 204. It is distributed under Apache 2.0, ISC and MIT, and states that it is supported by the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance as part of the Linux Foundation.

It is the signature counterpart to mlkem-native and lives in the same PQ Code Package group. Both are listed separately here because they version, ship and get reviewed on their own, and a reader depending on one is not thereby depending on the other.
