The Asymmetry in Quantum Threats
AES remaining strong does not make an organisation quantum-ready. Shor’s algorithm breaks the public-key cryptography that sets up AES keys and the signatures that authenticate the other end. Attackers can record encrypted traffic today and decrypt it years from now. Neither complacency nor panic fits; a clear reading of the two risks, paced to the lifetimes of your data and systems, does.
October’s Quantum Compression: Guidance for Boards and Investors in Bitcoin and Ethereum
Three quantum results published in a single week this October 2026 narrowed the gap between the attack on Bitcoin and Ethereum signatures and the hardware that could run it. The two questions boards should ask their custodians this quarter, and the practical actions individual holders can take this weekend. Written as the newly joined senior instructor at Quantum Academy.
