Quantum Shield

Post-quantum asset protection protocol for Ethereum using NIST-standardized cryptography

What is Quantum Shield?

Quantum Shield protects smart contract assets against quantum computing threats using NIST FIPS 204 (ML-DSA/Dilithium) and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA/SPHINCS+) dual post-quantum signatures, combined with a decentralized Prover Pool, VRF-based selection, and time-locked custody.

Key Features

• Dual PQC Signatures — ML-DSA-65 + SLH-DSA for defense-in-depth
• Prover Pool — Decentralized verification with stake-weighted selection via VRF
• Time-Locked Custody — 24h normal unlock, 7-day emergency path with bond
• Observer Network — Independent challenge system with quadratic slashing
• On-Chain Governance — veQS token voting, security council, insurance fund
• 11 Sub-Applications — Consumer, Prover, Observer, Explorer, Enterprise, Governance, Admin

9 Core Sequences

#	Flow	Path
1	Consumer Lock	Frontend → API → DB → L1 Vault
2	Normal Unlock	24h timelock → Prover verification → L1 claim
3	Emergency Unlock	Bond deposit → 7-day lock → Emergency path
4	Prover Registration	Stake → VRF selection → Proof generation
5	Observer Challenge	Monitor → Challenge → VRF arbitration
6	Slashing	Quadratic penalty → L1 ProverRegistry
7	Governance	veQS voting → Proposal execution on L3
8	Emergency Pause	Security council → L1 pause
9	Token Hub	Stake QS → veQS → Rewards

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker & Docker Compose
• Rust 1.75+ with cargo
• Node.js 20+ with pnpm
• Foundry (forge, anvil)

Development Setup

# 1. Start infrastructure
docker compose up -d postgres redis rabbitmq l3-node minio minio-init

# 2. Run database migrations
cd src/api/api
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://quantum:quantum_dev@localhost:5432/quantum_shield" sqlx migrate run

# 3. Start backend API (port 8080)
cargo run --bin api-server

# 4. Start frontend (port 3000)
cd src/frontend/web
pnpm install
pnpm dev

Verify

curl http://localhost:8080/v1/health
# {"status":"healthy"}

Security

• Cryptography: NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 + FIPS 205 SLH-DSA (post-quantum)
• Hashing: SHA3-256 (no keccak256 in application layer)
• Authentication: SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum) + JWT
• Time Locks: 24h normal, 7-day emergency with bond collateral
• Slashing: Quadratic penalty for malicious provers

Audit Status

• Internal code review
• External audit (planned)
