SEC Designates Naoris Protocol as Reference Model for Post-Quantum Cryptography Transition

According to BlockBeats, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially designated Naoris Protocol as a reference model for the financial industry's transition to post-quantum cryptography within the Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF). This strategic document, submitted to the U.S. Crypto Asset Task Force, places Naoris Protocol at the forefront of U.S. cybersecurity regulatory priorities. The release of this strategic document comes amid the rise of quantum computing, which poses a significant threat to the protection of digital assets. By 2034, the probability of quantum computers breaking the RSA-2048 algorithm is estimated to be between 17% and 34%, potentially endangering trillions of dollars in digital assets. The PQFIF references Naoris Protocol three times. Naoris Protocol stands out with its "Sub-Zero Layer" architecture, which enables the integration of post-quantum cryptography into existing EVM blockchains without requiring hard forks or interruptions. Its approach utilizes NIST-approved algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) to safeguard blockchain infrastructure.
