Title	Cyber Security (CYBER); Quantum-Safe Cryptography (QSC); Secure Implementation Guidance for Key Encapsulation Mechanisms and Digital Signature Schemes; Part 1: General General Implementation Guidance
Scope and Field of Application	This work item is the first part in a series of quantum-safe implementation guidance documents. It is intended to provide developers with general guidance to aid the secure implementation of quantum-safe algorithms. This will include an overview of the interfaces and expected security properties of quantum-safe algorithms; some general good practice guidance for cryptographic implementations; some background on side-channel and fault attacks; and a brief discussion of testing and formal verification.
