Implementation and Performance Testing of Post-Quantum Algorithms in Hyperledger Fabric

Abstract

The potential of distributed ledger technologies, such as blockchain, to create responsible and transparent linkages across a range of application domains has garnered a lot of interest. These methods build redundant networks via hash functions, digital signatures, and asymmetric cryptography. However, attacks employing quantum computers that take advantage of Grover and Shor’s algorithms can compromise the security of the current blockchain architecture.
