+The algorithms field lists both FN-DSA and FALCON as associated algorithms.

Concerns

-FIPS 140 Certified is marked 'No', indicating no FIPS 140 validated implementation is documented.
-NIST Levels are listed as 'Not specified', leaving the targeted NIST post-quantum security level undefined.
-Repository is 'None' and Documentation reports 'No documentation signals available', indicating no accessible repository or documentation is identified.
-Standards Compliance is marked 'Not assessed', meaning conformance to external standards has not been evaluated.

SignatureEvidence

Falcon-512Falcon-1024

Falcon is a NIST-selected lattice-based digital signature scheme known for its compact signatures — the smallest among PQC signature candidates. Its use of NTRU lattices and floating-point discrete Gaussian sampling gives excellent size but creates implementation complexity.
