Definition ∞ Module-LWE, or Module Learning With Errors, is a specific mathematical problem considered a strong candidate for post-quantum cryptography. It involves finding a secret vector given a set of linear equations perturbed by small errors over a module. This problem’s computational hardness is foundational for constructing encryption schemes resistant to quantum computer attacks.
Context ∞ News concerning the long-term security of blockchain and digital assets against quantum computing threats often references Module-LWE. Governments and research institutions are actively funding development based on such post-quantum primitives. The migration of cryptographic standards to include Module-LWE based algorithms is a critical future development for securing digital infrastructure.
