          • May need to break into a couple different papers - 1 for background, 2 for solutions
        • QCaaS Defined
          • Want to pull into QSS, aligned with CSA currently

      • NIST Additional Signature Schemes for Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process - https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/ir/8528/final
        • NIST has selected 14 candidates for the second round of the Additional Digital Signatures for the NIST PQC Standardization Process.
        • The advancing digital signature algorithms are: CROSS, FAEST, HAWK, LESS, MAYO, Mirath (merger of MIRA/MiRitH),
        • MQOM, PERK, QR-UOV, RYDE, SDitH, SNOVA, SQIsign, UOV
        • Next Steps: Second-round candidates have the option to submit updated specifications and implementations. Second
        • phase of evaluation and review is estimated at 12 – 18 months.
      • HSBC Approves Quantum Safe Technology for Tokenized Bullions - https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/hsbc-quantum-safe-technology/
        • HSBC claims they have the "first application of quantum-secure technology for buying and selling tokenized physical gold."
        • HSBC and Quantinuum partnered and Quantinuum provided Quantum Origin, their quantum randomness technology.
        • HSBC confirmed they used NIST FIPS 203, 204, and/or 205 but did not specify any further.
        • There is no date when these quantum-safe methods will be deployed on a larger scale to protect tokenized gold.
