Algorithms
What is MAYO?
Multivariate signature scheme from NIST's onramp signature competition. Smaller signatures than ML-DSA, larger public keys.

MAYO on QNSP
Multivariate quadratic signature scheme in the NIST PQC additional-signatures track. Short signatures and small public keys; trades signing speed against parameter size.
For parameter sets, key and signature sizes, NIST ACVP conformance status, and when to use it, see the full MAYO algorithm reference.
