Post-Quantum Signatures

Definition

Post-quantum signatures are digital signature algorithms designed to be resistant to attacks from quantum computers. These algorithms are based on mathematical problems believed to be intractable for both classical and quantum computation, offering a pathway to secure digital transactions in a future where quantum computing is prevalent. Their development is critical for ensuring the long-term security of blockchain networks and digital assets against future cryptographic threats. These signatures provide a vital layer of security for the evolving digital economy.
