The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Composite Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA)
   for use in Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)'
  (draft-ietf-lamps-cms-composite-sigs-05.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX
and SMIME Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Christopher Inacio and Deb Cooley.

Technical Summary

   Composite ML-DSA defines combinations of ML-DSA with RSA, ECDSA, and
   EdDSA.  This document specifies the conventions for using Composite
   ML-DSA algorithms within the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).

Working Group Summary

   There was consensus in the working group:
   This is a companion document to draft-ietf-lamps-pq-composite-sigs-12.
   There was a lot of debate, and many people asked for fewer combinations, but
   in the end there were people that want each of the combinations that are
   specified.

Document Quality

   Much code has been written, and a lot of time was spent at the hackathon to
   make sure that various implementation are interoperable.

   ASN.1 is used.  Once a placeholder values are inserted for the module 
   identifier, the ASN.1 module compiles without error.
   There is nothing else that requires validation.

   There are no mediatype registrations or other expert reviews required. 

   Downrefs (RFC5911) are already in the downref registry.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Russ Housley. The Responsible
   Area Director is Deb Cooley.
