arXiv:2606.10658v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in error-corrected qubits have accelerated the timeline for practical quantum computing. It poses a threat to cryptographic primitives used to secure financial systems, government infrastructure, communication networks, and DeFi (Decentralized Finance) ecosystems. This paper introduces a post-quantum secure federated DeFi framework that enables inter-bank collaboration to improve the inclusivity of individuals underserved by local lenders due to limited financial histories. Multiple banks contribute encrypted information batches
Advances in error-corrected qubits are accelerating the timeline for practical quantum computing, creating an urgent need for new cryptographic primitives to secure financial systems and digital infrastructure.
This paper addresses a critical future vulnerability in global financial systems by proposing a post-quantum secure solution, ensuring the continued integrity and inclusivity of digital banking in a quantum era.
The proposed federated DeFi framework changes how financial institutions can collaborate securely for inclusive banking, even as quantum computing threatens current cryptographic standards.
- · Financial Institutions (adopters of post-quantum tech)
- · Underserved Banking Populations
- · Cybersecurity Firms (specializing in quantum-safe solutions)
- · Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Sector
- · Financial Institutions (reliant on outdated cryptography)
- · Legacy Cryptographic Systems
- · Cyber Threat Actors (quantum-enabled)
Increased research and development into quantum-resistant cryptography becomes a priority for safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Global regulatory bodies begin to mandate post-quantum cryptographic standards for financial and government systems.
A competitive landscape emerges among nations and tech companies to develop and control leading post-quantum security solutions, potentially leading to new geopolitical alignments.
