Post-quantum Digital Signature using Verkle Trees
This project aims to address the emerging challenges of post-quantum cryptography by pioneering a digital signature system utilizing the innovative Verkle tree construction. This novel approach significantly reduces proof sizes, thereby enhancing both security and computational efficiency.
A key focus of the project is the integration of a pseudo-random number generator with a quantum random number generator to ensure enhanced robustness and reliability.
This project is strongly linked to security, particularly in the fields of cryptography and cybersecurity. Its primary objective is to develop a novel post-quantum digital signature scheme by combining Verkle trees, polynomial commitments, and vector commitments. This approach reflects a proactive stance in addressing the potential threats quantum computing poses to current cryptographic systems, ensuring a secure and efficient future for digital communications.
