Long term security refers to the sustained ability of a cryptographic system or blockchain network to protect digital assets and data against all known and anticipated threats over an extended period. This includes resilience against evolving computational capabilities, such as quantum computing, and the robustness of underlying protocol designs. It addresses the enduring integrity and confidentiality of digital systems for future generations. It is a fundamental requirement for digital trust.
Context
Long term security is a critical consideration for the continued viability and trustworthiness of blockchain technology and digital assets. News often reports on research and development in areas like post-quantum cryptography, which aims to safeguard systems against future computational advances. The ongoing efforts to audit protocols and strengthen their foundational cryptographic primitives are central to ensuring enduring protection for digital value. This area is a priority for foundational infrastructure.
