Topic: New Quantum Resistant Signature Based Cryptographic Algorithm (Read 89 times)

Most Quantum Resistant Algorithms are bound to be sluggish due to the complex computations used.

With signature based cryptography being my focus and implementation into blockchain the goal I have though of a suitable alternative called Two-Factor Proof of Knowledge.

Simple and to the point thus removing any sluggish behavior seen in other alternatives, which sticks to the saying why fix something that is not broken?

One could say that a simple equation such as x+y=z can be quantum resistant
depending on the values used, so if a sha-256 is used as a value the equation above would be quantum resistant.

Now what would happen when a users communicated over a distributed network as seen in a blockchain how can one prevent common attacks such as hash collision and miner manipulation from taking place in a third party system?

The answer is Two-Factor Proof of Knowledge or Factorized Proof of Knowledge as the more factors there are the more functionalities one can see in the signature being used.

The equation used in Two-Factor Proof of Knowledge is

x+e=y
x+y=z

In where revealing x would be the last step, something that is tied to both equations.

Would love to get some input on the matter.
