Ledger’s chief technology officer has commented on the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s post-quantum signature approach, according to a Techub News item citing Crypto Briefing. The scheme is designed to address the potential threat that quantum computing poses to cryptography, a core layer of blockchain security.
The report says adoption of the standard could reshape the security model for blockchains and may also alter transaction costs. It could require users to adjust as networks integrate or react to new cryptographic requirements. Techub noted that the implications would be especially relevant for major blockchain networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
No additional technical details, implementation timeline, or cost estimates were provided in the source summary.
