Quantum Day of Reckoning and How It Impacts Blockchain w/ Roger Grimes

Quantum Day of Reckoning and How It Impacts Blockchain

Quantum computing is getting ready to break all traditional public key crypto, like RSA and Diffie-Hellman, and every secret it protects. This means that digital certificates, PKI, TLS, VPNs, Wi-Fi networks, and even most crypto-currencies are left unprotected in an instant. The only question is when it will happen. Many experts think it’s sooner than you think. How will quantum impact blockchain? Does it break most blockchains, and if so, how?
