Quantum Risk refers to the potential threat that advanced quantum computers pose to current cryptographic security protocols, particularly those protecting digital assets and blockchain networks. These computers could theoretically break widely used encryption and digital signature algorithms, such as ECDSA, rendering existing security measures obsolete. This represents a significant long-term vulnerability for the entire digital economy.
Context
Crypto news frequently highlights quantum risk as a critical future challenge for blockchain security and the integrity of digital asset ownership. Discussions often revolve around the timeline for quantum computer development and the necessary transition to post-quantum cryptography. This risk is a major driver for research and development in new cryptographic standards to safeguard the future of decentralized systems.
