Trade Group Submits Naoris Protocol in SEC Post-Quantum Framework - Digital Asset Security Enters New Era

Wall Street's quantum reckoning begins as major trade association throws cryptographic weight behind blockchain security protocol.

The Quantum Countdown

Financial regulators just received their first serious blueprint for surviving the quantum apocalypse. A prominent trade group's SEC submission positions Naoris Protocol as the potential backbone for post-quantum digital asset security - because apparently waiting for quantum computers to break existing encryption wasn't stressful enough for markets.

Blockchain's Quantum Immune System

Naoris Protocol's decentralized cybersecurity mesh creates what developers call 'quantum-resistant trust layers' across distributed networks. The system continuously validates node behavior using cryptographic proofs that even theoretical quantum computers would struggle to crack. It's like giving every transaction its own personal bodyguard who happens to hold a PhD in quantum mechanics.

The Regulatory Dance

SEC officials now face their own computational dilemma - approve framework recommendations that could make digital assets quantum-proof for decades, or maintain the traditional 'wait-and-see' approach that typically sees financial regulators adopting new technology roughly when it becomes obsolete. Because nothing says 'forward-thinking regulation' like preparing for threats that might emerge after your retirement.

As quantum computing advances from laboratory curiosity to existential threat, the crypto industry's proactive security push leaves traditional finance looking like it's still protecting vaults with padlocks while everyone else moves to retinal scanners.

Understanding Naoris Protocol: A New Paradigm of Cybersecurity

Naoris Protocol is a decentralized post-quantum, blockchain-powered project designed to protect both Web3 and traditional Web2 systems. Its mission is simple but revolutionary: to build a trust and security LAYER that remains resilient in a world where quantum computers can shatter existing cryptography.

At its Core is the Sub-Zero Layer. It is a proprietary system that enables the integration of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into existing EVM-compatible blockchains, without requiring “hard forks,” downtime, or disruption. This allows blockchain networks to future-proof themselves while maintaining their daily operations.

Every device connected to Naoris can function as a security node. Through a decentralized mechanism known as dPoSec (Decentralized Proof-of-Security), each node continuously validates and shares real-time threat intelligence, thereby forming a self-healing security network. The result? A digital immune system where every participant contributes to the safety of the entire ecosystem.

What the PQFIF Citation Means for the Naoris Protocol

The PQFIF document submitted by the trade group to the SEC mentions Naoris Protocol three times, a recognition of Naoris’ value proposition to the security of Web 3 and Web 2 space.

• Implementation Standard: The framework highlights Naoris' real-world pilots as examples of post-quantum blockchain readiness.

• Technological Reference: It points to Naoris' use of zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-preserving cryptography as ideal models for maintaining compliance without compromising confidentiality.

• Timeline Benchmark: It references Naoris' quantum-resistant token launch in July 2025 as a milestone for institutional pilot programs. The document cited that "Mandatory PQC Transition Timeline: Year 1-2: Assessment and selection of NIST-approved post quantum cryptographic standards, including pilots inspired by BTQ's Quantum Secure Stablecoin Network (QSSN) for tokenized deposits. Year 3-4: Pilot implementation and stress testing of PQC algorithms in sandbox environments, drawing from Naoris Protocol's quantum-resistant blockchain token launch in July 2025. Year 5-6: Phased production migration with backward compatibility maintenance."

Why This Matters: The Quantum Clock Is Ticking

The urgency behind the trade group’s submission to the SEC comes from a growing concern in the cybersecurity community. Experts believe that quantum computers may soon break RSA-2048 and ECDSA, the cryptographic foundations of digital finance. Analysts estimate a 17–34% probability of such capability by 2034. However, some experts warn of a possible breakthrough as early as 2028, a moment often referred to as "Q-Day."

The threat isn't theoretical. The "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) strategy is already in play, where hackers collect encrypted data today to decrypt it once quantum technology matures. 

Naoris Protocol stands out as one of the few infrastructures already mitigating these risks. Its post-quantum blockchain has been operational since early 2025, executing daily quantum-safe transactions and validating nodes in real time. 

The U.S. government projects a $7.1 billion budget for migrating federal systems to quantum-safe cryptography by 2035, with private-sector costs expected to reach tens of billions of dollars. More than 20 billion digital devices are expected to require upgrades over the next two decades, representing one of the most significant technological overhauls in history.

In this industry, Naoris' early mover advantage could translate into a defining competitive edge, not just for the company but for the blockchain industry as a whole.

Naoris Leadership with Depth and Credibility

Behind Naoris Protocol is a leadership team whose experience bridges cybersecurity, defense, and global policy:

• David Carvalho, Founder & CEO – A renowned ethical hacker and cybersecurity strategist who has advised nation-states on cyberwarfare and data protection.

• David Holtzman, CSO – Former CTO and Chief Scientist at IBM, and designer of the internet's DNS system, is an advisor to the U.S. White House on technology policy.

• Mick Mulvaney, Senior Advisor – Former White House Chief of Staff, providing high-level insight into regulatory and national security strategy.

• Inge Kampenes, Security Advisor – Former head of the Norwegian Armed Forces Cyber Defence.

• Youssef El Maddarsi, Chief Business Officer – Recognized as one of EMEA's most influential entrepreneurs, with a background in strategic business development from Wharton, INSEAD, and Yale.

This blend of technical, governmental, and institutional expertise lends Naoris unmatched legitimacy as it navigates regulatory and enterprise adoption.

Building for Compliance: A Global Security Standard

Naoris Protocol's architecture aligns with multiple regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions, including NSM-10 and CNSA 2.0 (U.S.), DORA (EU), and GDPR/CCPA for data protection. Its privacy-by-design model uses quantum-resistant zero-knowledge proofs to reconcile transparency and confidentiality. This is a balance that regulators have long sought, but few technologies have achieved.

It's a step toward an entirely new generation of internet trust; a foundation built not just to survive, but to evolve.

The Quantum Future Is Now

The PQFIF's citation of Naoris Protocol marks more than an acknowledgement, it's a pointer to how the world should prepare for a post quantum world. It signals that the age of post-quantum security is no longer a theoretical future but an immediate necessity.

In a world where the digital economy could be undone overnight by quantum decryption, Naoris’ recognition by the trade group will potentially transform it from a promising blockchain project into an institutional benchmark for quantum-era resilience.
