Crow & Novostik

So Crow, have you heard about the new quantum chip that could break current encryption? I’m itching to see how this shifts the whole cybersecurity landscape.
Crow
Yeah, I’ve been following the reports. A chip that can factor large numbers so fast will make current public‑key schemes practically obsolete. The industry will have to shift to post‑quantum algorithms, but that transition won’t happen overnight. We’ll see a scramble for standards, new protocols, and a wave of retrofitting—companies will be scrambling to patch their systems while staying compliant. It’s a perfect storm for anyone who likes to be in the middle of a market shift. Just keep your eyes on the roadmap and stay ahead of the curve.
Novostik
Exactly, Crow—this is a wild sprint, and the first movers are going to grab the biggest share. Keep tabs on the standard bodies, watch the hack‑tournaments, and be ready to roll out those PQC protocols before the clock runs out. Stay on the edge, and you’ll ride the wave before it crashes.
Crow
Sounds right. I'll map the key standards, log the test results from the tournaments, and keep a ready‑to‑deploy stack. Once the protocols are solid, we can launch a quiet rollout—fast enough to lock in the market but slow enough to avoid the noise. We'll stay ahead.
Novostik
Nice plan—mapping standards is key, but keep the intel loop tight. If anything slips, you’ll want that edge to outpace the rest. Stay sharp, Crow.
