Quantum Oracle
Real-time quantum computing threat assessment using the LQCp/h metric. Monitors global quantum progress and automatically triggers security responses.
Threat Level: Minimal
Quantum computers are not currently cryptographically relevant. All security levels operating normally.
Threat Level Scale
Quantum computers not cryptographically relevant
Early quantum progress, no immediate threat
Significant quantum advances detected
Classical cryptography at risk within 5 years
Imminent threat to classical signatures
Oracle Components
Dual-Path Cracking Cost Model
Computes effective cracking cost as min(Grover preimage 2^(n/2), BHT birthday 2^(n/3), Shor key recovery) for each security level.
Incorporates variable-length address hashing (128-1024 bit) to quantify real dollar cost of attacks.
LQCp/h Metric & Trend Analysis
Logical Qubit Cost per Hour (~$5M baseline) tracks the practical cost of quantum computation.
Monitors hardware advances, error correction, gate fidelity, and projects threat timelines.
Canary System
Cryptographic canaries at Levels 1, 3, and 5 with known public keys, continuously monitored.
If a canary is compromised, it triggers Emergency migration for all wallets at or below that level.
Three-Tier Migration Triggers
Suggested (balance > cost/3), Automatic (balance > cost/1.5), Emergency (balance > cost/10).
Migrations happen invisibly via SpendAndRotate with level change — no hard forks or user action needed.
