Blockchain using a post-quantum cryptosystem

|coin>

About

ketcoin is a toy blockchain prototype based on a post-quantum cryptosystem developed as a project to better understand the inner workings of blockchain systems, peer-to-peer communication and post-quantum cryptography. This project was realized within the frame of the course IFT4055 and a written report can be found here.

This project is authored by Louis Tremblay Thibault and distributed under the MIT license.

The cryptographic library developed for this project can be found here.

Usage

One is free to download and play around with the code. To do so, you can do the following :

$ git clone https://github.com/tremblaythibaultl/ketcoin.git
$ cd ketcoin
$ go build
$ ./src -l 13337 -t ketcoin.louistt.com:13337

This last line is not guaranteed to work all the time (as the seed node will not be maintained at all times).

This code is neither thread-safe nor secure as of right now.
