🚀 SEC Designates Naoris Protocol as Reference Model for Post-Quantum Cryptography Transition

According to BlockBeats, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially designated Naoris Protocol as a reference model for the financial industry's transition to post-quantum cryptography within the Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF). This strategic document, submitted to the U.S. Crypto Asset Task Force, places Naoris Protocol at the forefront of U.S. cybersecurity regulatory priorities.

The release of this strategic document comes amid the rise of quantum computing, which poses a significant threat to the protection of digital assets. By 2034, the probability of quantum computers breaking the RSA-2048 algorithm is estimated to be between 17% and 34%, potentially endangering trillions of dollars in digital assets. The PQFIF references Naoris Protocol three times.

Naoris Protocol stands out with its "Sub-Zero Layer" architecture, which enables the integration of post-quantum cryptography into existing EVM blockchains without requiring hard forks or interruptions. Its approach utilizes NIST-approved algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) to safeguard blockchain infrastructure.

🚀 Cardano Founder Downplays Quantum Computing Threat to Blockchain

According to ChainCatcher, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has stated that the threat posed by quantum computing to blockchain technology is overstated and not an immediate concern. He emphasized that while the industry knows how to build quantum-resistant systems, these protocols are significantly slower and more costly, deterring networks from sacrificing throughput.

Hoskinson mentioned that until the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) establishes post-quantum cryptography standards (FIPS 203-206), the industry cannot hastily adopt algorithms that might become obsolete. He referenced the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Quantum Blockchain Initiative, which is assessing the feasibility of scalable practical quantum computers by 2033, with significant quantum challenges expected to emerge in the 2030s.

🚀 Grayscale Predicts Minimal Impact of Quantum Computing on 2026 Crypto Market

According to Odaily, Grayscale's latest report, titled '2026 Digital Asset Outlook,' suggests that while quantum computing poses long-term security challenges, it is unlikely to significantly affect cryptocurrency market prices in 2026. The asset management firm describes the quantum threat as a 'false alarm' for the coming year, acknowledging its reality but deeming it improbable to impact market valuations in the short term. The report cites estimates indicating that quantum systems capable of breaking Bitcoin cryptography might emerge by 2030. Grayscale analysts emphasize that research and preparations for post-quantum cryptography will continue, but they do not foresee this issue affecting valuations within the next year.

🚀 Google Plans Post-Quantum Cryptography Transition by 2029

Google has announced its intention to complete the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2029. According to Foresight News, this move aims to address the potential threats posed by future quantum computers to current encryption standards.

Google highlighted that quantum computers could significantly undermine existing encryption methods, particularly affecting encryption and digital signatures. The threat to encryption is already evident through attacks such as 'store now, decrypt later,' while digital signatures face future risks that need to be addressed before the deployment of cryptography-related quantum computers (CRQC).

In response, Google has adjusted its threat model to prioritize the migration of authentication services to PQC. The company recommends that other engineering teams adopt similar strategies to safeguard against these emerging threats.
