The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has announced the arrival of a new organization specializing in research and development at Ethereum, a body that seeks to portray research and development at Ethereum, and its central value preservation: Zknox.
The foundation-funded entity contributes to the efficiency and security of protocols that produce open source. According to EF, Zknox will work with post-science post-cryptocryption (PQ) to protect Ethereum.
PQ encryption is the field of developing encryption methods to create systems and protocols that are resistant to quantum computer attacks, and one day it could destroy traditional and current cryptosystems (such as Bitcoin’s SHA-256 algorithm, elliptic curve digital signature algorithms used by Bitcoin and Eselem, ECDSA, etc.).
For the fundamentals, encryption after first-order tourism photography is “an important area of quantum computing.” “By innovating with the latest generation of encryption technology, they are racing for the path of secure blockchain,” says EF in a thread on Social Network X.
One of its main Zknox achievements was to provide an optimized implementation of the theoretical transformation (NTT) of numbers (NTT). According to the Security Entity blog, many PQ schemes use NTT. Important operations when accelerating the cryptographic computing process.
“In cryptographic libraries, rapid multipliers are important atomic behavior,” says Zknox’s post.
Low-cost post-Atlantic signature verification
NTT is being used because Zknox argues that it is important that the “blockchain system” as Ethereum can efficiently verify talented companies. That’s the purpose of Zknox’s addition Rapid verification of PQ signatures in Ethereum is efficient from a gas consumption perspective.
It was granted by the Emplowed Yul Foundation, a “low-level intermediate” programming language that can be used in Ethereum’s intelligent contracts to achieve low gas consumption.
Yul allows optimized, efficient and compatible code using other high-level languages such as Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solidity.
When you code NTT with Yul, Zknox reduces the cost of high-speed corporate gas and makes NTT number verification cheap and practical with Ethereum. In this way, Yul’s NTT is presented as the most viable solution in the short term.
A complete verification by the Falcon Company has now only consumed 3.6 million gas. This is a significant reduction compared to previous implementations. Similar performance improvements were observed for NTT-dependent dilithium and other PQ schemes.

The research group used Yul in the NTT scheme to significantly reduce Ethereum gas costs, but guarantees that this is not enough. “In the long term, it’s too expensive for Ethereum PQ escalations,” Zknox said.
Introducing NTT at the Ethereum protocol level
With this in mind, the developer They consider Ethereum’s pre-tumultuous NTT solution. This means implementing rapid verification of signatures at the Ethereum protocol level. This is due to the recent introduction of Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIP-7885).
Conforation is a similar function to intelligent contracts implemented at the protocol level, offering much lower gas costs than running the same logic on a solid or yulu. Greatly reduces gas costs for verification of PQ companies. 2. Instead of being limited to a single scheme, we allow Ethereum to accept multiple PQ candidates. 3. As new PQ standards evolve, we will improve Ethereum’s cryptographic agility and ensure fluid migration.

According to Zknox, post-weather security is a pressing challenge and an issue that must be addressed today. The use of NTT in YUL shows a short-term utility for efficient PQ verification for gas use, but long-term solutions require more dramatic measurements.
Therefore, subsidized entities We propose to make changes to the Ethereum protocol through formal improvement proposals. “We believe that precondensation of NTT is the next logical step towards PQ’s healing and transition to ZK. Zknox said:
