In my previous article, I explained how current popular cryptography algorithms, such as the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), will become insecure with the advent of advanced quantum computing, a type of computer that will be more powerful than all computers on Earth combined.
The immediate effects include hackers stealing users' cryptocurrency funds and making unauthorized transactions on blockchains, as well as numerous large-scale problems outside of blockchains.
Researchers are developing post-quantum cryptography, which involves new cryptographic algorithms and encryption methods designed to resist the power of quantum computing and remain secure as it advances.
One of the most promising post-quantum cryptography methods is lattice cryptography, a type of cryptography based on complex, multi-dimensional lattices, unlike elliptic curves, which ECDSA relies on.
Several major blockchains, such as Algorand and Linea, are exploring the use of lattice…
