Hash-based signatures and Ethereum's post-quantum plans
Ethereum accounts are secured by elliptic-curve signatures, which a large enough quantum computer could break. Hash-based signatures rest only on the security of a hash function. NIST standardised one, SLH-DSA, in FIPS 205; the trade-off is much larger signatures.
Why you ·Post-quantum migration is a live research area where a careful survey or benchmark could become a paper, and it is the kind of cryptography depth that makes your Web3 work stand out at GDG talks.
