Microsoft makes MCP in Visual Studio GA but researchers warn of risks https://t.co/MSeGDf8ftX
A community developer from Kaspa Unchained has proposed a quantum-resistant wallet upgrade aimed at protecting blockchain users from future quantum computing attacks. This development comes amid growing concerns about the cybersecurity risks posed by large quantum computers, which can potentially break most current encryption methods using algorithms like Shor's in seconds. Microsoft is actively addressing these challenges by outlining its quantum-safe security plans and advancing next-generation cryptography, as detailed in recent posts on the Microsoft Security Blog. Additionally, Microsoft has made the Managed Code Protection (MCP) feature in Visual Studio generally available, though some researchers have warned of associated risks. The emergence of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers, which operate with tens to hundreds of qubits despite noise and errors, is seen as a transitional phase toward more powerful, error-corrected quantum machines that could impact fields such as chemistry, optimization, and artificial intelligence.
