Falcon (also called FNDSA), a lattice-based signature scheme, stands out for its low communication overhead, boasting significantly smaller public key and signature sizes compared to many alternatives. This efficiency is crucial for applications where bandwidth is limited, such as cryptocurrencies, IoT devices and mobile communications.

Or is further research and standardization necessary to fully assess Falcon's security, performance, and suitability for widespread deployment?
