Professor Massimiliano Sala, from the University of Trento, Italy, addressed the potential risks quantum computing poses to blockchain security in a discussion with Ripple. He highlighted the vulnerability of current encryption methods, emphasizing the need for quantum-resistant alternatives to safeguard against future threats. While practical quantum computers capable of breaching encryption aren’t yet reality, preparations are underway globally. Sala urges blockchain developers to collaborate with encryption experts for quantum-proofing systems.
