Enum Family 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Family {
    Classical,
    Hybrid,
    PostQuantum,
    MaxSecure,
    FnDsa,
    Experimental,
    Hqc,
    MlKem,
    MlDsa,
    SlhDsa,
}

The family an algorithm belongs to: what kind of construction it is.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Classical

Classical cryptography only

Hybrid

Classical and post-quantum combined

PostQuantum

Post-quantum stacks and KEMs

MaxSecure

The Max Secure series

FnDsa

FN-DSA (Falcon-based) signature stacks

Experimental

Research constructions with reduced guarantees

Hqc

HQC code-based KEMs (NIST 2025 backup KEM)

MlKem

NIST ML-KEM parameter sets (FIPS 203)

MlDsa

NIST ML-DSA parameter sets (FIPS 204)

SlhDsa

NIST SLH-DSA parameter sets (FIPS 205)
