Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to see my project trending here on Hacker News. It's a pure toy implementation inspired by the paper and its reference. While it aligns with all the provided test cases, I wrote it primarily for fun and to see it work seamlessly with the standard JCE interfaces. If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for checking it out! Best regards, the author. :-)

Heya, what would it take to productionize it? Are you aware of any java libs for quantum proof cryptography that are production ready?

I'm not aware of any production-grade libs of these algorithms, but they might exist. While NIST did pick Dilthium as among the winners in summer 2022, it still hasn't been fully standardized yet. The mathematical principles are final, of course, but they still need to be documented in the form of a standard, with many other details specified, such as the ASN.1/binary encodings of keys, signatures, etc., so they can be used in the context of a broader PKI and certificates. Some of this is specified in the Dilithium submission (primarily because some of the values need to be encoded and processed as part of the algorithms themselves), but it doesn't cover everything and doesn't specify other details like OIDs, etc. This specification is also necessary before validation programs like FIPS 140-2 can get off the ground.

It looks great piece of work, and you even took the extra effort for JCE integration, congratulations.

Thanks a lot! :)
