PRESS RELEASE — After over a year of evaluation, 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:

NIST Internal Report (IR) 8528 describes the evaluation criteria and selection process. Questions may be directed to [email protected]. NIST thanks all of the candidate submission teams for their efforts in this standardization process as well as the cryptographic community at large, which helped analyze the signature schemes.

Moving forward, the second-round candidates have the option of submitting updated specifications and implementations (i.e., “tweaks”). NIST will provide more details to the submission teams in a separate message. This second phase of evaluation and review is estimated to last 12–18 months.

One of the UK’s largest solar farms, a 55 MW project, is now officially online, providing enough power for over 20,000 homes.

The solar farm, developed by Atrato Onsite Energy, is also the fourth largest in the entire country, marking a major milestone for renewable energy in the UK.

The solar farm, which cost £39.4 million to build, is located in Richmond, North Yorkshire, and it covers an impressive 166 acres – that’s about 93 football fields. With over 93,000 bifacial solar panels, this site is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 11,000 tonnes annually.
