This PR updates the specs with post quantum signatures, it adds:

  • Domain separators in crypto
  • New pqsig authorization in ledger
  • Usage of pqsig for Lsig delegation
  • Usage of pqsig as root key in keys
  • pqsig fee surcharge
  • Falcon: removed 48 bytes seed requirement, added signature compressed format

Bonus:

  • Updated keys to include missing msig and lsig root key types
  • Added a new dedicated Logic Signature Delegation section in Ledger to split messages and validity in the ledger from execution and mode concepts (AVM).

Pull request overview

Updates the Algorand specs to define and integrate post-quantum transaction authorization (pqsig), including new domain separators, logic-signature delegation semantics, root-key taxonomy, and an added fee surcharge model for PQ-authorized transactions.

Changes:

  • Define pqsig authorization (including PQ address derivation, delegation, and fee surcharge) and integrate it into Ledger authorization rules.
  • Add new domain separators (PQA, PQProgram, PQK) and update AVM logic-signature mode docs for PQ delegation.
  • Update Keys specs to reflect root-key material types (Ed25519, multisig, lsig, and post-quantum).
