According to Foresight News, Blockstream CEO Adam Back tweeted that the SLH-DSA of FIPS 205 is the best current post-quantum (PQ) secure signature candidate. He suggests enhancing Bitcoin's defense against quantum computing threats by combining a new address format with Schnorr Taproot and SLH-DSA tapleaf. SLH-DSA is based on SPHINCS+, improved from the Lamport signature of 1979, using simple and robust hardness assumptions that are superior to other NIST candidate schemes. Users can gradually migrate to the new address format and use Schnorr signatures over the next few years or decades while preparing for quantum computer threats.
