Quantum Signature

Signature forgery with conventional (elliptic curve based) methods is possible as with a sufficient quantum computer an adversary can recover secret keys from public keys using Shor's factorization. As blockchains are immutable and their data to be available for a long time, one has prepare for these adversaries. With QAN its safer to assume that even when more advanced quantum computers are built, the chance for a signature forgery would be negligible‌

Security

We use Lattece based crypto. The theoretical framework are based on the following studies:
