Description
**As a** business application developer
**I want** to use post-quantum crypto algorithms with Fabric
**So that** the integrity of business data is maintained as quantum computing technology advances
NIST has selected some quantum-resistant cryptography algorithms:
https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2022/07/nist-announces-first-four-quantum-resistant-cryptographic-algorithms
It would be good for Fabric to support use of one or more of these algorithms (or future recommendations) as an alternative (or in addition) to the existing ECDSA cryptography for securing messages and ledger data. This could also extend to the cryptography used for secure (TLS) gRPC connections, although that might be better tracked as a separate issue.
Current post-quantum crypto algorithms are available as a Golang module here:
