The NSA has announced that RSA and other assymetric algorithms are being deprecated and that by 2025 the new, post-quantum algorithms will be preferred for validating digital signatures of firmware.
What is the timeline and how does Intel's roadmap look like as far as implementing the new CNSA 2.0 algorithms -- LMS, XMSS, into BootGuard?

thank you for the reply. However it leaves the question unanswered. The DoD requires CNSA 2.0 algorithms for firmware verification by 2030. Boot Guard is used to verify firmware signatures. therefore, Boot Guard needs to use CNSA 2.0 asymmetric algorithms if it is to be used in DoD systems.
My question is, is Intel aware of this and if so, what is the plan for updating Boot Guard to support these newer digital signature algorithms?
