The dirty secret about quantum signatures: No one knows if they work
Why upgrade if PQ signatures are not yet proven?The dirty secret of efforts to upgrade blockchains to post-quantum cryptography is that no one is sure if any of them work.None of the signatures being considered by major blockchains as quantum-resistant upgrades have been 100% proven to work.
Quantum computing could break current encryption. Businesses must adopt post-quantum cryptography now to protect sensitive data from future cyber threats.
It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become operational within the next five to 10 years. That’ll be ...
