Composite Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA) for use in X.509 Public Key Infrastructure

This document defines combinations of US NIST Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA) in hybrid with traditional algorithms RSASSA-PKCS1-v1.5, RSASSA-PSS, ECDSA, Ed25519, and Ed448. These combinations are tailored to meet regulatory guidelines in certain regions. Composite ML-DSA is applicable in applications that use X.509 or PKIX data structures that accept ML-DSA, but where the operator wants extra protection against breaks or catastrophic bugs in ML-DSA, and where existential unforgeability (EUF-CMA) level security is acceptable.
