Primary AuthorsPetrenko, Petrenko, Grigorieva et al.

Researchers have developed a quantitative method to measure how national blockchain ecosystems resist quantum-computing attacks, a metric previously missing from the field. Quantifying these threats is difficult because it requires predicting the intersection of hardware growth and cryptographic decay. This preliminary study, currently awaiting peer review on Springer, introduces a mathematical model to evaluate Blockchain Quantum Resilience.
Assessing Blockchain Quantum Resilience
The framework evaluates platforms including Hyperledger Fabric, Enterprise Ethereum, and Corda. Unlike previous qualitative methods, this approach uses mathematical models to calculate stability against specific attack vectors. The researchers developed:- Risk assessment algorithms based on modified Shor’s and Grover’s logic.
- An optimised Approximate Quantum Fourier Transform (AQFT) scheme.
- A methodology for predicting compromise timelines for cryptographic primitives.
