Anryton’s Roadmap
The Rise of Quantum Computing
The era of quantum computing brings unprecedented computational power that is capable of solving complex problems.
However, this capability of quantum computers acts as a double-edged sword. Because of its computational abilities, current encryption protocols are vulnerable to quantum attacks, including RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) which are mostly used in the current systems. These protocols secure digital communications, banking systems, and data storage.
A quantum computer, leveraging algorithms like Shor’s algorithm, can break these encryption methods in a fraction of the time it would take a classical computer. Therefore, the encryption of today becomes obsolete under the threat of Q-day. From financial transactions to government secrets, entire systems would be at risk if quantum computers are able to break encryption models widely used across the globe.
The successful experiences in the recent past has made this threat more realistic, leading to Anryton’s Quantum-proofing plans. Some of the updates in the quantum world are:
Google’s Quantum Supremacy Experiment
In 2019, Google announced the achievement of “quantum supremacy” by solving a problem that would take the most advanced classical supercomputers thousands of years to compute. While the problem itself was specific and not immediately applicable to encryption, the experiment underscored the disruptive potential of quantum computing.
IBM’s Quantum Progress
IBM has been a leader in Blockchain and quantum research is no different. IBM is already offering cloud-based quantum computing platforms for commercial use. These advancements have shown real-world applications of quantum technology in industries like chemistry and pharmaceuticals.
Anryton, as part of its core mission, is addressing these near-future threats by incorporating quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms. This forward-thinking approach positions Anryton as a blockchain ecosystem built to withstand the next generation of computing advancements, safeguarding sensitive data in sectors such as healthcare, finance, and beyond.
