## Description

Recent advancements in quantum computing are changing estimations of how soon classical cryptographic algorithms may be at risk. In this talk, we’ll explore the Falcon post-quantum signature scheme, how to apply it through a simple TypeScript library, and how Falcon signatures can be used to secure data today against tomorrow’s quantum attacks.
