🎤 Lord Andrew Lansley: Digital Identity of Products on the #Blockchain "... unlike QR codes which can be copied, a unique token ID system embedded in #Blockchain, would not be able to be removed, copied or circumvented. I hope that the Minister will be able to assure us that Clause 89 already has the powers necessary to include technology as sophisticated as this...." ------- #Identity #Blockchain image

🇬🇧 🇺🇸 UK and US Regulators Divided Over Crypto Cooperation British and U.S. regulators are reportedly divided over how to advance cooperation on digital assets through their joint Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future. While both sides broadly support closer alignment on stablecoin rules, disagreements have emerged over how to test tokenised securities. UK regulators favour using a regulatory sandbox to trial blockchain-based securities, whereas U.S. officials have expressed concern that sandbox approaches could limit innovation or discourage commercial participation.

You aren’t a robot... but don't be a hater. 🤖🚫 Reviewing a paper by a scholar you can’t stand? Keep it professional. In evidence-based research, your personal bias has no seat at the table. Whether you love or hate the author, the work must stand (or fall) on its own merits. The Golden Rule of Reviewing: Personal views? Yes. Personal bias? No. Your insights only carry weight when they are backed by evidence. That is the @The British Blockchain Association way. 📊✨ #ResearchTips #AcademicLife #StemTok #FactOverFeeling #EvidenceBasedBlockchain #PeerReview

The Bond Villain of Blockchain. 🕵️‍♂️💻 Your crypto is safe behind a "billion-character" wall... until the rules of physics change. Enter Shor’s Algorithm. While classical supercomputers would spend millions of years trying to crack the code, a quantum computer uses it as a mathematical "cheat code" to derive private keys in minutes. The lock isn't breaking—the door is simply vanishing. #QuantumComputing #ShorsAlgorithm #CyberSecurity #Bitcoin #Cryptography #TechNews #Crypto #Web3Security #FutureTech #Programming #BlockchainTech #Computers

The Tank vs. The Ninja: Why Dilithium is winning the battle but losing the war on space. 🛡️🥷 In the world of post-quantum cryptography, Dilithium is the undisputed heavyweight. It’s robust, lightning-fast for web servers like Amazon, and built on "unbreakable" lattice math. But there’s a catch: it’s a total space hog. Is the "Tank" too big for the systems we use every day? Let’s dive into why size matters in the race for PQC. #PostQuantum #Cryptography #CyberSecurity #NIST (Since they standardized Dilithium) #LatticeBased #Infosec #TechTrends #SoftwareEngineering #FutureOfTech #WebSecurity #DataPrivacy
