Google notes that “save now, decrypt later” attacks are already a problem. The company will integrate a NIST post-quantum standard into Android 17. Google’s security team assured on March 25 that 2029 should be the deadline year to complete the migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), and recommended any organization that depends on authentication and digital … Read more
The change would apply to the entire system architecture, not just individual apps. Google has been working on post-quantum cryptography since 2016 and sets 2029 as the migration deadline. Google announced this March 25, 2026 that Android 17 will integrate post-quantum cryptography (PQC) improvements starting in the next beta version, followed by general availability in … Read more
The roadmap addresses quantum protection of the consensus, execution, and data layers. The research began in 2018 with signature aggregation based on a technology called zkSTARK. The Ethereum Foundation (EF) presented this March 24 the new Post-Quantum Ethereum website, a site dedicated to centralizing all the resources, specifications and advances of the post-quantum effort of … Read more
The Arthur D. Little Company (ADL), the world’s first and oldest management consulting firm, published an update to its 2022 “Blue Shift” report on the state of quantum computing. There he concludes that, despite recent technical advances and billions of dollars in public and private investment, the mass commercialization of this technology still faces significant … Read more
Other signature schemes could replace the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm. The replacement would seek to prevent the derivation of private keys from public bitcoin addresses. The community of users and developers have expressed their concern about the future of Bitcoin in the face of the advent of quantum computing. To date, concerns have mainly … Read more
Recently, the technology giant Google launched a quantum chip called Willow. The processing capacity of this chip has been described in an attractive way for marketing, saying that it can solve in 5 minutes a mathematical problem “that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years (that is, 10 25), a number that far exceeds the … Read more
On December 9, Google launched Willow, its quantum chip with a power of 105 qubits. Other analysts, in agreement with Adam Back, understand that this risk would be distant. The debate over advances in quantum computing and its potential impact on cryptography continues to generate reflections. Recently, CriptoNoticias reported that analysts have dismissed the theoretical … Read more
Hypothetically, a powerful quantum computer would compromise BTC’s cryptography. Bitcoin uses algorithms to protect digital signatures for transactions and mining. On December 9, tech giant Google announced the launch of Willow, its new quantum chip. This advance sparked debates about the potential impact of this technology on the security of Bitcoin (BTC), whose cryptography is … Read more
