Add support for generating ML-DSA certs with CertificateBuilder (#14741)#14748
Merged
Conversation
…y#14741) Motivation: Post-quantum encryption algorithms are fast becoming relevant to a lot of people. NIST finalized CRYSTALS-Dilithium as ML-DSA with 3 parameter sets (44, 65, 87) in FIPS 204. Let's make it possible to create test certificates using these algorithms. Java 24 natively adds support, see: https://openjdk.org/jeps/497 For Java 11 to 23, we can support ML-DSA certificate generation with BouncyCastle. On older Java releases, we throw an exception if people try to use these algorithms. Modification: Add ML-DSA-44, ML-DSA-65, ML-DSA-87 algorithms to CertificateBuilder.Algorithm. Upgrade BouncyCastle to version 1.80, where support for these algorithms is finalized. Result: It's now possible to generate post-quantum certificates with the ML-DSA algorithms.
