Sui to implement post-quantum cryptographic signatures
#Sui will integrate two National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-approved post-quantum signature schemes, allowing users to optionally secure their accounts with quantum-safe keys derived from existing recovery phrases. The network will implement ML-DSA-65 as its native protocol signature scheme for standard accounts, while Move smart contracts will support hash-based SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s for securing high-value vaults.
Sui noted that powerful quantum computers running Shor’s algorithm could eventually compromise the elliptic-curve cryptography protecting most on-chain accounts. It also warned that “harvest-now-forge-later” attacks could begin today, as attackers may collect exposed public keys and use them to forge signatures once quantum capabilities become available.
