1. Overview of Raqcoin's Quantum-Resistant Design
2. Core Algorithms: Rainbow and UOV
// Pseudo-code for Rainbow signature verification (simplified)
function verifyRainbow(sig, msg, pubKey) {
// Map signature to multivariate polynomials
polys = mapToPolys(sig, pubKey.layers);
// Verify each layer (oil-vinegar structure)
for (layer in polys) {
if (!verifyLayer(layer, msg)) return false;
}
return true;
