☺️New Publication within the NATO-SPS Programme
📣We are pleased to announce a new scientific publication developed within the framework of the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme.
🔹The paper, titled “Polynomial Commitment Schemes from Classical Constructions to Post-Quantum Directions”, is authored by Maksim Iavich, Tamari Kuchukhidze, and Razvan Bocu.
🔹Polynomial commitment schemes (PCS) enable efficient and verifiable proofs of polynomial evaluations and are widely used in systems such as zk-SNARKs and Verkle trees. This study compares classical approaches (e.g., KZG, Bulletproofs) with emerging post-quantum alternatives, highlighting a key trade-off between efficiency and quantum resistance. While classical schemes offer compact proofs and high performance, post-quantum designs provide stronger security at the cost of increased computational overhead. The paper also outlines a research roadmap to bridge this gap and advance practical quantum-resistant solutions.
🔹This publication serves as both a technical reference and a strategic guide for developing next-generation cryptographic systems that remain secure in the era of quantum computing.
