@saidurgareddyinterlink: InterLink’s Early Vision for NIST-Standardized Post-Quantum Cryptography Within the next five years, whether a digital asset is truly secure or not will have a much clearer answer. It will no longer be something complicated or difficult to understand. Ultimately, it will come down to one critical factor: whether it is quantum-resistant according to NIST standards. Speaking of NIST, most InterLink users are probably already familiar with it. Our Human AI Model is currently ranked #51 globally, and NIST is one of the most important institutions under the U.S. Department of Commerce responsible for developing and evaluating standards related to post-quantum cryptography. The rapid development of AI models today is raising serious concerns about their ability to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. At the same time, advances in quantum computing are bringing the potential threat of breaking today's cryptographic algorithms to a level of concern greater than ever before. Recent experiments and research from Google have demonstrated that what was once considered practically impossible, using quantum computing to threaten the cryptographic security underlying networks such as Bitcoin, is increasingly becoming a risk that cannot simply be ignored. This means that digital assets and blockchain networks that do not actively research, prepare for, and implement post-quantum cryptographic protection could eventually face serious security risks. In a future where sufficiently powerful quantum computers exist, vulnerabilities in existing cryptographic systems could potentially be exploited by attackers, putting assets stored on those networks at risk. InterLink Foundation has been conducting research into digital signatures and cryptographic algorithms, and we have already achieved several important early results. Our research includes mechanisms that allow new private keys to be generated from an existing seed phrase. At the same time, through the Address Alias mechanism, users can retain their existing wallet addresses together with all associated tokens and NFTs while migrating to a new cryptographic security architecture. InterLink Foundation is also implementing SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s (FIPS 205) within IRC smart contracts to provide an additional layer of post-quantum protection for vaults and high-value digital assets. We are currently conducting these experiments on the InterLink Taj Mahal Testnet, and so far, our experimental implementations have successfully passed the NIST-based simulation tests we are conducting. Our goal is to fully integrate this architecture into the InterLink Open Mainnet in 2027, bringing InterLink closer to becoming one of the world's most secure blockchain networks built around post-quantum cryptographic standards established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The future of digital asset security is becoming increasingly clear. In the quantum era, security will not only be about protecting your private key. It will be about whether the cryptography protecting that key was built to survive quantum computing.
