Abstract
In the era of quantum computing, ensuring
cryptographic security requires innovative approaches.
This project introduces a post-quantum cryptographic
hashing algorithm designed to resist quantum-based
attacks, particularly Grover’s algorithm. The proposed
method utilizes two random oracles to generate entropy
dynamically, following Boltzmann’s entropy formula and
the concept of microstates. By leveraging this dynamic
entropy mechanism, the algorithm produces a quantum-
safe hash value that is computationally infeasible to
reverse or find its preimage. Experimental evaluations
demonstrate the robustness of the algorithm in providing
enhanced security against quantum threats, offering a
a significant step forward in post-quantum cryptographic research.
