The outcome of being cryptographically secure against attacks from quantum computers, regardless of the specific mechanism used to achieve it. In the Tockchain Ecosystem, quantum security is pursued through two complementary approaches:
- Quantum Resistance, which relies on post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms whose security derives from mathematical hardness assumptions.
- Quantum Protection, which relies on physical constraints, such as speed-of-light propagation and the first-seen rule, implemented natively in Tockchain via the Coldspend Transaction.
