How Nervos CKB Achieves Quantum Resistance in the Age of Quantum Computing
About CKB and quantum resistance – How Nervos Network prepares for the quantum future
The rapid development of quantum computing is beginning to pose a real and urgent threat to current cryptographic systems.
Unlike classical computers, which operate on binary bits and require astronomical amounts of time to solve cryptographic puzzles, quantum computers use qubits that exist in superposition.
This allows them to perform multiple computations simultaneously and potentially break widely used cryptographic algorithms, including those securing today’s blockchain networks, in a fraction of the time.
Protocols such as ECDSA and RSA – which underlie the security of Bitcoin and many other networks – are especially vulnerable.
As quantum capabilities grow, cryptographers and blockchain developers are racing to implement defenses that will secure networks in a post-quantum world.
