We are pleased to announce the publication of our research article entitled “Post-Quantum Digital Signature: Verkle-Based HORST”, authored by Professor Maksim Iavich (Partner Country Project Director, Tamari Kuchukhidze (Scholar and Researcher), and Associate Professor Razvan Bocu (NATO Country Project Director), in the Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy (MDPI, Volume 5, Issue 2, 2025).

 This publication marks the first scientific output developed within the framework of the NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, specifically under the project titled “Post-Quantum Digital Signature using Verkle Trees.” The study addresses critical challenges in post-quantum cryptography by introducing a novel digital signature scheme based on Verkle tree structures. This approach provides enhanced cryptographic security and improved computational efficiency, contributing significantly to the advancement of post-quantum digital signature methodologies.
