We are thrilled to announce that PQScale, featuring our innovative Aggregate Signature Service, is now available for trial access. This is a key step in our ongoing effort to strengthen digital interactions in a post-quantum world. We invite early adopters to test PQScale and see the improvements in scalability and security it brings.

Aggregate Signature Service
‍

In our previous blog post, we discussed the promise of PQScale, our signature aggregation service for lattice-based post-quantum digital signatures. PQScale improves transaction speeds while reducing transaction costs, making it particularly useful for blockchains with ambitions of becoming quantum-resistant. Learn more about how PQScale works:

With PQScale's alpha release, the Aggregate Signature Service ensures blockchain networks, bridging protocols, and other software systems can start their journey toward quantum security. By using our cutting-edge digital signature compression technology, we help reduce the strain on blockchains.

The pathway to developing the API service was lined with a blend of challenges and breakthroughs. From initial design sketches to coding marathons, our team delved deep into the realms of cryptographic algorithms, ensuring that the API service not only stood up to the ideals of robustness but also embraced the essence of user-centric design. Every challenge was an opportunity to improve, pushing us closer to our goal: an aggregate signature service that's ready for future quantum challenges and easy to integrate across digital platforms.

Features

In the alpha launch, we’ve released 3 main API endpoints. Each feature is designed to provide a robust, user-friendly interface, enabling seamless interaction with post-quantum cryptographic functions. 

Post-Quantum Secure

• Signing using PQC: Engage with a straightforward API endpoint to sign messages using a NIST-standardized Falcon digital signature. Please note that this API endpoint is provided for testing purposes and should not be used in production. The private keys used to sign the messages are owned by the PQScale team.

Signature Aggregation

• Efficient Signature Aggregation: Request an aggregation task to consolidate multiple Falcon signatures into a single aggregate signature, optimizing the space required for signature storage and verification​.
• Real-Time Aggregation Progress Tracking: Track the progress of your aggregation task, providing real-time status and insights.

To learn more, the API documentation provides comprehensive details, code snippets, and examples to get you started quickly.
