Quantum Computing Vs. Blockchain: Impact on Cryptography

cashtechnews

Quantum computers will not kill blockchain, but they might trigger fundamental changes in underlying cryptography. The major selling point of blockchain and its applications is that cryptographically secured distributed ledgers are virtually “unbreakable” under normal circumstances, given the current state of computational technology. Its validity, however, is heavily dependent on the “state of technology” assumption. […]
