Quantum computers may well become a reality during the next decades. Current common digital signature schemes (RSA, DSA and ECDSA) are not quantum-resistant. Hash-based signatures are a quantum-safe alternative.
Initiated in 2014, the goal of the German 3-year research project Quantencomputer-resistente Signaturverfahren für die Praxis aka squareUP is to foster the practical use of hash-based signatures, a category of post-quantum digital signatures. The existing theoretical foundations of hash-based signatures will be completed by:
