The Ethereum Foundation Launches Post-Quantum Cryptography Signature Design Challenge

Techub News reports that the Ethereum Foundation has announced the launch of an open automated research challenge aimed at designing a stateless, hash-based signature scheme for Ethereum in the post-quantum era. Contestants are required to verify the security of their scheme in the Lean theorem prover and challenge existing records with the product of signature size and verification cycles as the metric. The challenge is built on the Yukon Research platform in collaboration between the Ethereum Foundation and EigenLabs. The Foundation encourages participants to utilize AI agents to engage in this cutting-edge cryptographic research. (@ethereumfndn)
