  • •AWS introduces ML-DSA for quantum-resistant software signing.
  • •Organizations must comply with upcoming U.S. and EU regulations by 2030 and 2027, respectively.
  • •The two-part series provides a complete guide for implementing and enforcing cryptographic policies.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced a two-part series on implementing quantum-resistant signing using the Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA). This initiative responds to increasing threats to software supply chains, particularly from potential future quantum computing capabilities that could compromise traditional digital signatures like RSA and ECDSA. The first part details the construction of a signing pipeline for binaries, container images, and software bills of materials. The second part focuses on enforcing cryptographic algorithm policies to prevent the use of non-compliant algorithms. Organizations shipping software to U.S. federal agencies or operating in the EU must comply with upcoming regulations mandating quantum-resistant signatures. The series represents the first comprehensive guide from a cloud provider on this topic, aiming to help organizations transition to post-quantum cryptography before the 2030 deadline set by the NSA.
