Bitcoin and other blockchain powered currencies are under constant security threat from hackers and other agents
Adam Koltun, an Evangelist for the Quantum Resistant Ledger, has expertise in the emerging field of blockchain, and how it relates to quantum computing.
In today's tech podcast, we discuss the basics of quantum computing (bits vs qubits etc.), the limitations of quantum computing, and how it intersects with blockchain technology. New security features to protect against Shor’s algorithm, using a novel signature scheme, as well as private keys and quantum resistant coins will all be explored in our chat.
