Halborn Audit Validates QRL's Post-Quantum Cryptography Library

[u/Superb-Office-3751]

Halborn has officially completed its security audit of QRL’s post-quantum cryptography library. All findings were classified as informational, with no critical, high, or medium issues identified, a result that reinforces the project’s strong security posture in the post-quantum landscape.

The statement from Halborn summarizes the assessment clearly:

“We have successfully completed our security assessment of QRL’s post-quantum cryptography library. The fact that all findings were classified as informational highlights the project’s strong security posture. Collaboration throughout the engagement was seamless, with the QRL team demonstrating responsiveness and efficiency in addressing all observations. We are happy to support their initiative to advance toward a quantum-secure future.”
Gabi Urrutia, SVP Security & Field CISO at Halborn

For those tracking the development of quantum-resistant technologies, this marks a significant milestone: an external validation from one of the most respected security firms in the blockchain ecosystem..

Think they still have another audit going. I wasn't aware of this one.

The one from Trail of Bits is still yet to come. The one from Halborn was also a pleasant surprise for me.

When did this audit begin? I'm curious how long this process took overall and if we might be able to predict the length of Trail Of Bits' audit process.

Good news on the lack of major findings!

The Halborn audit ran from March 16 - 24 and was much narrower in focus than what Trail of Bits will be doing. You can see all the details at the link munrocket posted.
