Quantum computing poses a potentially serious risk to systems based on blockchain (aka distributed ledger) technology, depending on how they’re designed and what cryptography they use. While that risk may not become reality for another five to 10 years, there’s no excuse for complacency: Breakthroughs in quantum computing could shorten that timeline. And regardless of timing, regulatory mandates call for the replacement of certain cryptographic algorithms within the next 10 years (or sooner, depending on the country). Read this report to find out what you can — and should — do today to mitigate this risk.
