The degriefer is introduced - a novel mechanism that enforces ownership and prevents double-spending using only hash commitments, eliminating the need for on-chain signatures entirely and making Compact Shielded CSV a promising foundation for private, scalable, post-quantum digital payments.
Abstract
We propose Compact Shielded CSV, a private client-side validation blockchain for peer-to-peer payments designed for the postquantum era. Upgrading existing blockchains to quantum-resistant cryptography substantially increases on-chain overhead. By keeping all large cryptographic artifacts off-chain, Compact Shielded CSV keeps a minimal on-chain footprint independent of the size of the underlying cryptographic proofs and signatures. For a single input transaction, the onchain footprint is just 3 hashes (3x32 bytes): a nullifier, a degriefer, and a commitment to the transaction. We introduce the degriefer - a novel mechanism that enforces ownership and prevents double-spending using only hash commitments, eliminating the need for on-chain signatures entirely. These properties make Compact Shielded CSV a promising foundation for private, scalable, post-quantum digital payments.
Blockchains need more than post quantum single signer signatures. They need consensus profiled authentication objects with canonical bytes, priced invalid input rejection, stable transaction identifiers, hybrid downgrade resistance, public aggregation, merge semantics, accountable signer evidence, forward secure commit...

This work proposes a quantum-safe blockchain architecture based entirely on multivariate polynomial cryptography, specifically the MPPK KEM key encapsulation mechanism and HPPK DS digital signature scheme, and presents a blockchain design that natively integrates these primitives.

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) serves as the security foundation for decentralized ledger systems that enables transaction authorization and user account control through compact signatures. However, this architectural reliance poses an existential threat due to Shor’s algorithm, which allows a cryptographically rele...
Blockchain-based mobile payments require settlement controls that remain safe when value crosses heterogeneous ledgers and release depends on multiple approvers. This study develops and evaluates a fail-closed settlement pipeline in which cross-chain admission precedes fund release. The cross-chain layer combines a pap...

Post-quantum migration is a critical challenge for enterprise blockchain systems that rely on classical digital signatures. Hyperledger Fabric extensively uses ECDSA for identity management, endorsement, TLS, and transaction validation, making a full infrastructure-level migration complex. This paper presents a control...
