<!– wp:paragraph –><p><strong>What is a CRQC?</strong> A Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC) is a quantum computer powerful enough to run Shor’s algorithm at the scale needed to break real-world cryptographic keys like RSA-2048 and ECDSA-256. Current estimates place CRQCs arriving between 2029 and 2035, but the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat means crypto assets are at risk today.</p><!– /wp:paragraph –><!– wp:heading –><h2>Defining the Threshold</h2><!– /wp:heading –><!– wp:paragraph –><p>Not all quantum computers are created equal. The quantum processors in research labs today are noisy, error-prone, and far too small to break cryptographic keys. A CRQC requires a specific combination of qubit count, error correction capability, and gate fidelity that no machine has yet achieved.</p><!– /wp:paragraph –><!– wp:paragraph –><p>For breaking ECDSA-256 (the algorithm securing Bitcoin and Ethereum), estimates suggest approximately 2,500 to 10,000 logical qubits are needed. Each logical qubit requires roughly 1,000 to 10,000 physical qubits for error correction, placing the total hardware requirement at millions of physical qubits.</p><!– /wp:paragraph –><!– wp:heading –><h2>The Intelligence Community’s View</h2><!– /wp:heading –><!– wp:paragraph –><p>Intelligence agencies take the CRQC threat seriously. The NSA’s CNSA 2.0 framework mandates migration to PQC starting immediately, with completion required by 2035. This timeline implies the US government believes CRQCs could arrive well before 2035 — agencies build in migration time, not just threat time.</p><!– /wp:paragraph –><!– wp:paragraph –><p>China’s quantum computing programme is advancing rapidly, with significant government investment and several quantum computing companies pursuing different qubit technologies. The competitive dynamics between nations accelerate the CRQC timeline because each country invests more to avoid falling behind.</p><!– /wp:paragraph –><!– wp:heading –><h2>Why the Exact Date Doesn’t Matter</h2><!– /wp:heading –><!– wp:paragraph –><p>For crypto holders, debating whether CRQCs arrive in 2029 or 2035 misses the critical point. Harvest Now, Decrypt Later means your public keys are being collected today. Every day of continued ECDSA use adds to the harvestable dataset. The damage accumulates before the CRQC exists.</p><!– /wp:paragraph –><!– wp:paragraph –><p>BMIC’s architecture addresses this reality by eliminating public key exposure now — not when the CRQC arrives. ZPKE ensures there is nothing to harvest today, so there is nothing to decrypt in 2030, 2035, or whenever CRQCs mature.</p><!– /wp:paragraph –><!– wp:heading –><h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2><!– /wp:heading –><!– wp:paragraph –><p><strong>Who will build the first CRQC?</strong> The leading candidates are IBM, Google, and several Chinese research institutions. Microsoft is pursuing a different qubit technology (topological qubits) that could leapfrog current approaches if successful. The first CRQC may emerge from a classified government programme rather than a commercial lab.</p><!– /wp:paragraph –><!– wp:paragraph –><p><strong>Could a CRQC arrive sooner than expected?</strong> Yes. Quantum computing has a history of surprises — Google’s quantum supremacy announcement in 2019 and its Willow error correction results in 2024 both exceeded expectations. Breakthrough discoveries in error correction or qubit design could compress the timeline significantly.</p><!– /wp:paragraph –>
The Quantum Clock Is Ticking — Act Now
Every day you wait, more of your public keys are being harvested. Intelligence agencies are running Harvest Now, Decrypt Later operations right now.
