BTQ TECHNOLOGIES PARTNERS WITH BONSOL LABS TO ACHIEVE INDUSTRY-FIRST NIST-STANDARDIZED POST-QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY SIGNATURE VERIFICATION ON SOLANA
BTQ Technologies and Bonsol Labs have successfully demonstrated the first NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography signature verification on Solana, marking a major milestone in securing blockchain infrastructure against quantum threats.
BTQ Technologies, a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, has announced the successful demonstration of the first NIST-standardized postquantum cryptography( PQC) signature verification on the Solana blockchain.
The milestone, achieved in partnership with Bonsol Labs’ verifiable computation network, addresses critical quantum security vulnerabilities identified by the Federal Reserve while maintaining Solana’ s subsecond transaction speeds.
Addressing the Federal Reserve’ s quantum threat warning harvesting blockchain data. Historical transaction data protected by traditional cryptography( e. g. ECDSA and RSA) remains permanently exposed in chains even after post-quantum upgrades.
The analysis reiterates that quantum threats to distributed ledger networks are“ present and ongoing”, with adversaries actively collecting encrypted blockchain data today for future decryption. No mitigation exists for retroactive data privacy. Once harvested, confidential transaction details, private keys and financial records can be decrypted by quantum computers in the future. To protect funds, ownership needs to be transferred to secure post-quantum keypairs resistant to quantum attacks.
Federal Reserve research confirms active‘ Harvest Now, Decrypt Later’( HNDL) attacks are already
This situation has created a global urgency for blockchain networks to transition to PQC standards as
