This archive is a proposal in response to NIST's call for proposal for standar-
dization of quantum-resistant digital signature schemes.

PERK provides POST-QUANTUM SIGNATURES and targets NIST's
security levels 1, 3, and 5.

===============================================================================

This archive is organized as follows:

- KATs: Known Answer Test values and verbose outputs for each parameter set
- Reference_Implementation: Reference implementation for each parameter set
- Optimized_Implementation: Optimized implementation for each parameter set
- Supporting_Documentation: Supporting documentation
