5 Crucial role of blockchain in quantum computing: enhancing security and trust
-
Ronak Duggar
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the dramatic progress of quantum computing and its far-reaching consequences for cybersecurity. Conventional cryptographic techniques are in jeopardy because quantum computing can transform computational capacity by using the unique features of qubits. Blockchain technology emerges as a ray of hope as quantum computers get closer to breaching of commonly used encryption methods. Blockchain’s decentralized structure and unchangeable ledgers offer quantum-resistant defenses. Understanding the interconnected nature of quantum computing and blockchain is the focus of this chapter, highlighting blockchain’s potential to bolster digital trust in the face of quantum uncertainty. Topics include quantum-resistant encryption, novel smart contracts, quantum key distribution, and the associated regulatory difficulties. Ultimately, readers need to understand the mutual benefits of blockchain technology and quantum computing, and the crucial part blockchain plays in sustaining digital trust amid the quantum revolution.
