Threat Talks - Your Gateway to Cybersecurity Insights

What does quantum computing mean for blockchain? And how should platforms respond before Q-day becomes reality? In this episode of Threat Talks, ON2IT Field CTO Rob Maas is joined by Jeroen Scheerder, who leads ON2IT's post-quantum cryptography research group. They explore how quantum algorithms interact with current blockchain designs, what makes certain cryptocurrencies more flexible than others, and where we're already seeing movement toward future-ready solutions. ⛓ How does blockchain actually work again? 🔓 What makes classical encryption vulnerable to quantum algorithms? 🧠 Why can't you just “update” Bitcoin? From cryptographic design to real-world limitations, this episode is all about understanding the risks and opportunities in a post-quantum future.
