Quantum Attacks and Defenses for Proof-of-Stake

Amr M. Khalifa, Ayman Mohammad Bahaa-Eldin, Mohamed Sobh

Advances in both quantum computation and blockchain systems necessitate a rigid analysis for the security of blockchains in the advent of powerful quantum computers. Computational problems that are proved or believed to be intractable by classical computers are known to be attacked by well-studied quantum algorithms. Such problems are used as basis to secure blockchains and hence the security of such systems must be defended. As proof-of-work is used in early blockchains to maintain consensus, proof-of-stake was proposed to lower its high energy consumption and provide a higher network throughput. Proof-of-Stake has hence got an increasing interest, variations, implementations and enhancements whilst its quantum security defenses remained almost the same. By comparing proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, we find that the latter is more vulnerable to certain attack vectors. We suggest general defenses for quantum-resilient blockchains and thoroughly analyze post-quantum signature schemes to select an appropriate alternative to the most serious threat on conventional digital signatures.

Blockchain Security in the Post-Quantum Era

Iraq Ahmad Reshi

The quantum computer is a threat to the cryptography on which the currently implemented blockchains rely. Authors thoroughly investigate the impact of quantum adversaries on the security of blockchain technology in this chapter. Begining by scrutinizing the threat model for a quantum computer, concentrating on the threat posed by quantum adversaries on public key cryptography, digital signatures, and proof-of-work assumptions. This chapter examines various forms of cryptography after quantum computing, such as lattice-based cryptography, hash-based signatures, code-based cryptography, multivariate cryptography, and isogeny-based cryptography, highlighting their applications for blockchain technology. Authors also investigate how quantum computer cryptography can be applied in digital wallets, transactions, consensus algorithms, and smart contracts. Finally, this chapter provides case studies on real-life applications for a quantum compute-r resilient blockchain technology implementation.
