Q-Day Radar & Active HNDL Clock (4,096 Logical Qubit Threshold) | AKI Platform

Q: What is the AKI AI × Quantum × Cyber Intelligence Index?

The AKI AI × Quantum × Cyber Intelligence Index is an audited actuarial registry evaluating 100+ converged entities across post-quantum cryptography (FIPS 203/204/205), fault-tolerant logical qubits, HNDL risk, and public-key Shor algorithm exposure under the Zero-Incentive-Protocol (ZIP-1.0).

Q: What is 'Harvest Now, Decrypt Later' (HNDL)?

HNDL is an active intelligence strategy where adversarial state actors intercept and archive encrypted ciphertext today. Once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer reaches 4,096 logical qubits, these captured archives will be decrypted retrospectively, compromising long-life government, military, and financial secrets.

Q: Why are FIPS 203, 204, and 205 critical?

Published by NIST in August 2024, FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA) are the world's primary post-quantum cryptographic standards. Federal agencies and defense networks must fully transition under CNSA 2.0 mandates between 2026 and 2033.

Q: How many logical qubits are needed to break RSA-2048?

Under Shor's algorithm on surface-code lattices, approximately 4,096 fault-tolerant logical qubits with physical error rates below 10⁻⁴ are required to factor RSA-2048 or break ECC-256 in polynomial time.
