Problem summary

  • IBMJCEPlus: Quantum-resistant ML-DSA and ML-KEM algorithms are
    now available on 32-bit JVMs.
    The IBMJCEPlus provider enhances the security of Java
    applications by providing implementations of quantum-resistant
    Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA) and
    quantum-resistant Module-Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation
    Mechanism (ML-KEM).
    The ML-DSA and ML-KEM algorithms are now supported in 32-bit
    JVMs in the following environments: Linux on X86, AIX on POWER ,
    Windows.
