Government sanctions 700 additional CISF personnel to guard CCS buildings
The government has sanctioned a fresh manpower of more than 700 personnel to the CISF for providing a security cover to the Common Central Secretariat (CCS) whose first building was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. Official sources told PTI that all 10 CCS buildings will be guarded by the central government building security (CGBS) unit of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) which functions under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

More manpower is expected to be sanctioned to the unit as and when more CCS buildings are commissioned, they said. Live Events The new manpower will enhance the strength of the CGBS unit to almost 5,000 personnel. The unit has also been sanctioned about 200 more personnel to guard the National Investigation Agency (NIA) extension office located in Talkatora Stadium and the Sushma Swaraj Bhawan in Chanakyapuri, the sources said. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated Kartavya Bhavan , the first of the 10 upcoming Common Central Secretariat buildings which will house offices of all ministries. The ambitious project is aimed to bring central government ministries and departments under one roof for efficiency. Kartavya Bhavan-03 houses the MHA, External Affairs, Rural Development, MSME, DoPT, Petroleum & Natural Gas ministries, and the Principal Scientific Adviser's office. CCS buildings numbered 1 and 2 are scheduled to be completed by next month, while construction work on CCS 10 will be finished by April next year. The project of CCS buildings 6 and 7 will be completed by October 2026. The CISF is tasked to secure critical buildings and infrastructure in the government and private domain apart from airports and nuclear power and space sector installations.

Quantum Computing Group Offers 1 BTC to Whoever Breaks Bitcoin's Cryptographic Key
Project Eleven, a quantum computing research and advocacy firm, has launched the Q-Day Prize, a global competition offering 1 bitcoin (BTC) to the first team able to break an elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) key, the cryptography which secures the Bitcoin network, using Shor's algorithm on a quantum computer. Shor's algorithm is a quantum computing method that efficiently factors large numbers into their prime components, theoretically allowing quantum computers to break cryptographic algorithms like RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography used in Bitcoin and other blockchain networks. The contest comes as quantum computing advancements mean that a workable quantum computer might only be years away. Project Elevent has also identified more than 10 million bitcoin addresses with non-zero balances potentially at risk of quantum attacks. The Bitcoin community is aware of the quantum computing threat and is working on solutions. As CoinDesk previously reported, a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP), titled Quantum-Resistant Address Migration Protocol (QRAMP), was introduced in early April, which suggests enforcing a network-wide migration to post-quantum cryptography to safeguard Bitcoin wallets. This would require a hard fork, however, and getting that sort of consensus would be an uphill battle. Quantum startup BTQ has also proposed its own solution: a quantum-based alternative to Bitcoin's Proof of Work called Coarse-Grained Boson Sampling (CGBS). CGBS works by using quantum computing to generate unique patterns of photons (light particles called bosons), replacing traditional mining puzzles with quantum-based sampling tasks for validation. But BTQ's CGBS also requires a hard fork, and the appetite for such a change isn't yet known.
