Episode notes
Centralized Systems' Quantum Risk
- Centralized cybersecurity systems are single points of failure vulnerable to attacks.
- Quantum computing threatens traditional cryptographic standards, demanding urgent quantum resilience measures.
Root Servers Security Anecdote
- Brendan Viehman described managing the internet's root servers through the dot-com boom with minimal security.
- He explained how early systems relied on weak physical security and highlighted the widespread ignorance about internet technology among early legislators.
Decentralization Empowers Security
- Decentralization reduces control by governments and large corporations over individuals.
- Naoris Protocol creates a decentralized, post-quantum security layer validating trust across devices in real time.
