Abstract
Automatic vocal contract formation is provided. It is determined whether an indication of acceptance of an audio file and a transcript file corresponding to a verbal communication containing an agreement was received from parties. The audio file and the transcript file having been digitally signed by the parties based on cryptographic private keys associated with a quantum-safe dual signature scheme are exchanged in response to determining that the indication of acceptance was received from each of the parties. Verification of authenticity of the audio file and the transcript file of the vocal contract is received from the parties based on each of the parties successfully verifying digital signatures of the audio file and the transcript file using cryptographic public keys associated with the quantum-safe dual signature scheme.
