Securing the Post-Quantum Web: How Merkle Trees and Collaborative Pilots Are Redefining Internet Trust
Executive Overview The architecture of the modern internet is facing an invisible, ticking clock. For decades, the global web has relied on cryptographic foundations that presume the computational limits of classical computing. However, the theoretical advent of cryptanalytically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs)—machines powered by algorithms such as Shor’s—poses an existential threat to these foundations. If…
