Direct answers, no fear-mongering.
The most-searched questions about quantum security, answered conservatively.
Can quantum computers break Bitcoin today?+
No public evidence shows current quantum computers can break modern Bitcoin or banking encryption. The risk is forward-looking and depends on public-key exposure and migration timelines.
What are ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA?+
NIST-finalized post-quantum standards. ML-KEM is a key-establishment mechanism. ML-DSA and SLH-DSA are digital signature schemes designed to resist quantum attacks.
What is harvest-now, decrypt-later?+
The risk that attackers collect encrypted data now and decrypt it later if quantum capabilities improve. Long-life sensitive data is most exposed.
Is my wallet quantum-safe?+
Most current wallets are not yet quantum-safe. Exposure depends on public-key visibility, address reuse, and chain-specific behavior. Our scanner gives a rules-based educational view.
Should I move my crypto today?+
Don't move funds based on a generic risk score. Reduce address reuse, follow credible wallet guidance, and watch protocol-level migration announcements.
What is a cryptography inventory?+
A structured record of protocols, certificates, keys, libraries, vendors, backups, and systems that depend on cryptography. It is the first step in any PQ migration.
What is crypto-agility?+
The architectural ability to swap cryptographic algorithms, libraries, and protocols without redesigning the system that uses them.
When will quantum computers be a real threat?+
Experts disagree. Conservative planning means cryptographic agility now and migration of long-life data before cryptographically relevant quantum computers arrive.
