Application of cryptographic algorithms in decentralized networks and prospects for their replacement for the post-quantum period

Abstract

The article reviewed cryptographic algorithms that are used or can be used in decentralized networks. Algorithms for protection, both from classical and from quantum attacks are given. In the work there is a general analysis of the methods already used. Reviewed algorithms for protection, both from classical and from quantum attacks are given. The results of this work show the need for cryptographic algorithms to protect against possible quantum attacks in the future.
