The Citadel Protocol is an open-source post-quantum p2p and client-to-server communications protocol written in Rust that provides stronger encryption than Signal. It supports per-message re-keying and ratcheting, single-threaded and multi-threaded execution modes, file transfer, and per-message-defined multi-layered encryption. For authentication, there is passwordless, device-dependent, and credentialed authentication (backed by the…

As the world races towards the age of quantum computing, the field of cryptography faces the need for an urgent overhaul. Traditional cryptographic methods that have long protected our digital communication and transactions are at risk of being rendered obsolete. To counteract this looming threat, post-quantum cryptography is gaining prominence…

It appears that zk-SNARKS are currently not the best long-term option since not all are post-quantum. zk-STARKS, on the other hand, does offer quantum resistance. zk-STARKS are the future

In modern cultures, we are often raised to see the world in a linguistically individualistic way. While there is not anything necessarily wrong with individualism, there are numerous caveats to embedding that quality consistently. The capacity of being individualistic should be compartmentalized and balanced like any skill one may have…

Before you were born, there were about 13–14 billion years of physical existence in the universe. Whether our universe was made by an immaterial or material causal agent is irrelevant in this proof. The important thing to contemplate is that a long time passed before you were born. Definition I…
