Post-Quantum Crypto
Quantropy is built on real quantum hardware and supplies verifiable entropy. That positions it to support post-quantum cryptography (PQC) as the ecosystem adopts primitives that resist future quantum attacks.
Why PQC matters
Classical public-key cryptography (e.g. RSA, ECDH) can be broken by large-scale quantum computers (e.g. Shor’s algorithm). Post-quantum cryptography refers to algorithms designed to remain secure even when an attacker has a quantum computer. Standardization (e.g. NIST PQC) is ongoing; adoption will require high-quality randomness for key generation and nonces.
Quantropy’s role
Entropy quality — PQC key generation and randomized operations need non-deterministic, high-entropy randomness. Quantropy supplies entropy from real quantum measurements—suitable for seeding PQC key generation and other sensitive operations.
Verifiability — Entropy is tied to a Quantum Job ID and Solana transaction, so you can prove the source of randomness used for key generation or protocol logic.
Future-proofing — As PQC primitives (e.g. CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium) are integrated into systems, Quantropy can serve as a verifiable entropy source for those primitives, aligning “quantum-safe” design with “quantum-sourced” randomness.
This page is a placeholder for a fuller PQC narrative as the protocol and ecosystem mature. The takeaway: Quantropy’s verifiable quantum entropy is a natural fit for future-proofing via PQC primitives—use it where high-assurance, non-deterministic randomness is required.
