Quantum-Resistant ZK Circuits: Key Questions
Get clear answers on our process, timeline, and technical approach for securing your protocol's future.
Our methodology is a four-phase, collaborative process. We begin with a Threat Model & Requirements Analysis to define your specific post-quantum security needs. Next is Algorithm Selection & Feasibility Study, where we evaluate and prototype candidate quantum-resistant primitives (e.g., lattice-based, hash-based) for your use case. The Circuit Architecture & Implementation phase involves designing and coding the optimized ZK circuits in Circom or similar frameworks. Finally, we conduct Rigorous Security Analysis & Benchmarking, including formal verification where applicable, to validate correctness and performance.
