Abstract
With recent advances of quantum computation, new threats have closed in upon to the classical public key cryptosystems. In order to build more secure bit commitment schemes, this paper gave a survey of the new coming braid-based cryptography and then brought forward the first braid-based bit commitment protocol. The security proof manifests that the proposed protocol is computationally binding and information-theoretically hiding. Furthermore, the proposed protocol is also invulnerable to currently known quantum attacks.
