This document proposes a preliminary roadmap This document constitutes a preparation toward devising criteria for the standardization of threshold schemes for cryptographic primitives by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). To cover the The large diversity of possible threshold schemes, as identified in the NIST Internal Report (NISTIR) 8214, we tackle them in a structured way. We consider is structured along two main tracks— : single-device and multi-party— and within each of them we consider . Each track covers cryptographic primitives in several possible threshold modes. The potential for real-world applications is taken as an important motivating factor for differentiating the pertinence of each possible threshold scheme. Also, the standardization of threshold schemes selection of items for standardization needs to consider features such as configurability of parameters, diverse features, such as advanced security properties, configurability of parameters, testing and validation, granularity modularity and composability (e.g., of gadgets vs. composites) , and specification detail. Overall, the organization put forward enables us to solicit feedback useful to consider serves as a preparation for an upcoming solicitation of feedback useful for considering a variety of threshold schemes, while at the same time considering differentiated differentiating standardization paths and timelines , namely depending on different that may depend on the levels of technical and standardization challenges. This approach paves the way for an effective engagement with the community of stakeholders and constitutes a preparation for devising criteria for standardization and subsequent calls for contributions. While the terms standards E7: C11.5 and standardization are used throughout this report to refer to a set of possible final products, this does not imply a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) as one or as the only intended format for NIST products of future threshold schemes for cryptographic primitives.
