Let's say you have a colorblind friend - how can you convince them that red is different from green if they biologically cannot see the difference? ZKPs: zero-knowledge proofs! These are a state of the art cryptographic method for proving the veracity of certain statements without revealing anything except that the statement is true. When paired with the post-quantum security guarantees of code-based cryptography, your personal information could not be safer - but how do code-based ZKPs work? Join Freeman Slaughter and Rigo Salazar for a primer on code-based ZKPs, how they work to thwart quantum adversaries, and what YOU can do to protect yourself.
CROSS is a lightning-fast post-quantum digital signature scheme currently in round 2 of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's call for signature schemes. Here, we offer an overview of how CROSS works, the benefits and drawbacks inherent, and how the post-quantum paradigm will shape the future of protected signature protocols.
