At WeAreDevelopers 2026 in Berlin, Andrew Funk, Integrations Lead at the Algorand Foundation, presented on the Falcon post-quantum signature scheme and its implementation in TypeScript. The session covered how to use a lightweight library to sign and verify data to protect against quantum computing threats, and introduced the concept of cryptographic agility for easier algorithm transitions.
Funk also noted in the X post that quantum computers will eventually break today's cryptography and that the work to stay ahead starts now.
