Beware the Vaporware: The Risks of Fake "Quantum-Safe" Coins!
As quantum computing looms closer to reality, a wave of so-called “quantum-safe” cryptocurrencies has emerged. Unfortunately, many of these coins are little more than vaporware, designed to exploit investor fears and siphon funding without delivering real solutions. These “fake” coins often rely on theoretical quantum-safe mechanisms that lack approval from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and have not undergone the rigorous, time-tested scrutiny necessary to ensure security.
The Risks of Cutting Corners
One glaring issue with these coins is their deviation from established PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) mechanisms, the backbone of secure encryption. Without adherence to such foundational principles—or the endorsement of NIST—they’re taking a monumental gamble.
Think of it like jumping out of an airplane with a parachute that hasn’t been approved by any safety standards. It might look fine on the surface, but when it matters most, it could fail catastrophically. The NIST process is the gold standard for evaluating cryptographic methods. It’s an open, transparent, and collaborative effort that brings together experts from leading corporations and academic institutions worldwide. Every mechanism is rigorously challenged and defended before earning approval. This ensures that the cryptographic standards we rely on can withstand attacks from both quantum and classical computers.
The Unthinkable Consequences
Imagine this: several years down the road, after widespread adoption of one of these untested mechanisms, it’s discovered that the encryption can be cracked—not just by quantum computers, but potentially even by classical computers. The fallout would be catastrophic, undermining trust in the entire ecosystem. This isn’t just a hypothetical risk—it’s a reality we must confront today.

You need to act now!
We at IronCAP™ have been trying to educate businesses and individuals that Q-day (the day the first quantum hack is publicly recognized) is around the corner and everybody needs to gear up. Nation states and governments are already at it, how about you? To learn more, visit www.ironcap.ca.
IronCAP™ is our latest innovation for the post-quantum cybersecurity. This patent-protected, post-quantum cryptographic system is based on the Goppa Code-based cryptographic technology. It has embedded our proprietary subclass of (L, G) making it not only more secured but also has faster cryptographic operations (key generation, encryption, decryption) than the traditional Goppa Code-based technology (McEliece). We are offering a live demonstration for the general public to try and experience the strength of IronCAP™ post-quantum encryption easily. To learn more, visit www.ironcap.ca. |
