Shiba Inu announced the development of its own Shib Identity system, designed to protect users from future quantum computing threats.
This innovative identity platform promises to provide advanced security by integrating water-resistant features, ensuring it remains resilient against current and future cyber threats.
Shiba Inu is striving for quantum resistance.
According to an update published by Shib Magazine, the system will rely on advanced encryption to protect user data and ensure long-term digital privacy.
This ensures that users' identity information remains confidential throughout the verification process.
The Shiba Inu team added: "[FHE] is a difficult technology to implement, but it offers a rare advantage: resilience not only against today's threats but also against those that quantum computers may pose in the future."
The team is also planning to link Shib's identity with the current Shib Name Service (SNS). They aim to expand the tool beyond wallet labeling to include a broader identity layer while maintaining FHE-based protection.
The vision is to make social networks usable not only within Web3 but also on standard internet domains, linking native encrypted profiles to mainstream digital services.
They explained that "the team behind [SNS] has been laying the groundwork for ICANN approval, which will allow the use of *.shib names as standard web domains, linking native encrypted identities to the broader internet."
Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu utility token, Treat, will be integrated with the Shib Identity platform, transforming it into a functional crypto gateway.
The network confirmed that Shib's identity is not just a simple login or a "marketing gimmick." It is a comprehensive and integrated framework focused on digital sovereignty. The system allows users to control their data and privacy with unprecedented security.
One of the key features of Shib's identity is the use of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). This encryption technique allows for the processing of encrypted data without compromising its security.
Alerts regarding vulnerabilities in quantum computing.
Shiba Inu's decision to develop this system comes at a time when concerns are growing about the impact of quantum computing on cybersecurity.
Industry experts have warned that established encryption systems, including those securing assets like Bitcoin, may be vulnerable to quantum computing.
As a result, members of the crypto community have been working to find ways to develop quantum-resistant security protocols.
No one knows exactly when quantum computing will become a practical issue. But Shiba Inu's design decisions suggest that they are not waiting to find out. They are building identity systems as if the clock has already started, as the Shiba Inu team mentioned.
These steps reflect Shiba Inu's commitment to integrating practical and realistic utilities into its ecosystem, enhancing its status as more than just a meme coin.
