We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest article, presenting a comprehensive survey of commitment schemes, from classical constructions to post-quantum secure alternatives. The work analyzes vector, polynomial, and functional commitments, highlights the transition toward quantum-resistant designs, and outlines key challenges and future directions in cryptographic research.
