According to BlockBeats news, the U.S. SEC has officially designated the Naoris Protocol as a reference model for the financial industry's transition to post-quantum encryption in the "Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework" (PQFIF). This strategic document submitted to the U.S. crypto asset working group places the Naoris Protocol at the core of U.S. cybersecurity regulatory priorities.

The background for the release of this strategic document is that the rise of quantum computers poses an existential threat to the protection of digital assets. Data shows that by 2034, the probability of encryption-related quantum computers breaking the RSA-2048 algorithm is between 17% and 34%, which poses a threat to tens of trillions of dollars in digital assets. The "Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework" references Naoris three times.

Naoris Protocol stands out with its "rSub-ZeroLayer" architecture, which integrates post-quantum encryption into existing EVM blockchains without the need for hard forks or interruptions. The method it employs is to use NIST-approved algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) to secure the blockchain infrastructure.

Quantum computers pose a significant challenge to the cryptocurrency world!

Quantum computers possess extremely powerful computing capabilities. The elliptic curve encryption technologies relied upon by cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin could theoretically be exploited by quantum computers using algorithms like Shor's algorithm. Once quantum computers develop to the point where such decryption is possible, the security of many existing cryptocurrencies will suffer a severe blow. Users holding related encryption assets may face asset security risks, the trust foundation of the entire cryptocurrency market could be shaken, prices may experience significant fluctuations, and a large number of investors might panic and sell off their assets. The impact on the cryptocurrency community would undoubtedly be a tremendous challenge.
