This initiative directly addresses the critical transition to post-quantum cryptography by funding practical research into isogeny-based signature schemes for blockchain systems. The project specifically targets the reduction of operational costs and resource burdens associated with replacing current algorithms like ECDSA and RSA, ensuring scalable adoption of quantum-resistant security standards.
Quantum Ledger Funds Manchester Cryptographers to Build Quantum-Proof Signatures

QRL is funding University of Manchester researchers to advance post-quantum cryptography, focusing on isogeny-based methods for secure digital signatures.
Quantum Resistant Ledger is funding researchers at the University of Manchester to address a critical vulnerability in current digital security protocols. The grant supports Dr. Bernardo Magri, Dr. Tako Boris Fouotsa, and Dr. Trey Li as they investigate isogeny-based cryptography and the challenges of transitioning to quantum-resistant signatures. Dr. Replacing these schemes, including ECDSA, EdDSA and RSA, represents the most technically demanding part…
