Aptos Proposes Post-Quantum Signature Improvement Proposal AIP-137

BlockBeats News, December 19th, Aptos announced the proposal of an improvement proposal AIP-137 to introduce post-quantum signatures, planning to support post-quantum digital signature schemes at the account level to address the long-term risks that quantum computing development may pose to existing encryption mechanisms. The scheme will be introduced as an optional feature that does not affect existing accounts. According to the proposal, Aptos intends to support the hash-based signature scheme SLH-DSA, which has been standardized as FIPS 205. (Cointelegraph)
