Composite Post-Quantum Certificates

A family of 20 hybrid composite certificate profiles combining classical and post-quantum algorithms, submitted to the IETF PQC Hackathon and aligned with NIST FIPS 203/204/205.

The Cygnus composite family provides cryptographic agility during the transition to post-quantum cryptography. Each profile pairs a classical algorithm (ECDSA P-256/P-384, RSA 3072, Ed25519, X25519) with a NIST-standardized PQC algorithm (ML-DSA, ML-KEM, SLH-DSA), ensuring forward compatibility while maintaining backward interoperability with existing X.509 infrastructure.
