Pretty chuffed on my progress this weekend. I’ve been successful creating and signing #nostr events using quantum-safe cryptography. Yeah, the overhead sucks, not great for social media, but well worth it for long-lived sensitive #safebox records vulnerable to harvest and decrypt threats. Now hacking a relay that can accept, store and relay quantum-safe #nostr events.

Onwards!
Successful, first kick at the can at generating a signed nostr event using post-quantum cryptography (ML-DSA-44 signature algorithm). I managed to generate a pubkey, sign the event and validate it. This is what it looks like in JSON format.

Next step is to hack a relay implementation to accept PQC-signed nostr events.
