Step 4: Design Quantum-Resistant Protocols

The QRWP introduces quantum-resistant protocols to Ethereum’s infrastructure:

• Quantum-Resistant Key Exchange: Utilizing CRYSTALS-Kyber to secure key exchange processes.

• Quantum-Resistant Signature Schemes: Implementing Crystals-Dilithium for transaction signing.

• Quantum-Resistant Consensus: Adapting Ethereum’s consensus algorithms (Proof-of-Stake) to incorporate quantum-resistant primitives.

• Quantum-Resistant Peer-to-Peer Communication: Ensuring node communication integrity with robust key exchange and message authentication protocols.
