Quantum Vulnerability in Ed25519 Keys

The potential for quantum computers to crack Ed25519 keys, used in various cryptographic applications, poses a significant threat to data security. This vulnerability could allow attackers to reverse-calculate private keys from public keys, compromising the security of SSH sessions and other encrypted communications. The issue arises because current key exchange algorithms are not post-quantum secure.
