| # CompositeMLDsa updated to draft-08 | ||
|
|
||
| <xref:System.Security.Cryptography.CompositeMLDsa> has moved from draft-07 to draft-08 of the [Composite ML-DSA for use in X.509 Public Key Infrastructure](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-pq-composite-sigs/) specification. The draft-08 format is not compatible with the draft-07 signatures, and key export/import formats are also incompatible across the draft-07/draft-08 boundary. draft-08 and draft-09 are compatible. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Version introduced | ||
|
|
||
| .NET 10 GA | ||
|
|
||
| ## Previous behavior | ||
|
|
||
| In preview and RC releases of .NET 10, signatures were generated and validated according to draft-07 of Composite ML-DSA for use in X.509 Public Key Infrastructure. | ||
|
|
||
| Public key and private key export and import used the format from draft-07 of Composite ML-DSA for use in X.509 Public Key Infrastructure. | ||
|
|
||
| ## New behavior | ||
|
|
||
| Starting in the .NET 10 GA release, signatures are generated and validated according to draft-08 of Composite ML-DSA for use in X.509 Public Key Infrastructure. | ||
|
|
||
| Public key and private key export and import use the format from draft-08 of Composite ML-DSA for use in X.509 Public Key Infrastructure. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Type of breaking change | ||
|
|
||
| This change is a [behavioral change](../../categories.md#behavioral-change). | ||
|
|
||
| ## Reason for change | ||
|
|
||
| This change was made to stay current with the underlying specification. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Recommended action | ||
|
|
||
| The <xref:System.Security.Cryptography.CompositeMLDsa> class is marked as `[Experimental]`, partly because the specification isn't yet complete. Do not depend on this class in production. | ||
|
|
||
| Discard any previously generated keys and signatures. | ||
|
|
