Darmstadt signature procedure is in the competition for standardization

Whether WhatsApp, online shopping or software updates: we use cryptographic procedures consciously or unconsciously to protect our data from unpleasant listeners many times a day . The security of the standard RSA process, which currently secures most of the communication on the Internet, is based on the fact that our present computers do not have enough computing power to break these procedures. A quantum computer would be able to do so, that means the communication would no longer be trustworthy. For example, one could then no longer be sure that the online transfer also arrives at the right recipient. To prevent this, researchers have been developing so-called "post-quantum methods" for years, i.e. methods and algorithms that will still be safe in the age of quantum computers.
