Quantum computers may soon breach blockchain cryptography
- zzz345345 4y agoAs long as there is a new, unbreakable cryptography available, the ease of switching to it is inconsequential.
- tromp 4y ago> Cryptography experts are somewhat skeptical of the technique’s scalability but aren’t ruling out the possibility of success either. Not only are they pretty much ruling out the possibility of success [1], but blockchains mostly rely on hardness of elliptic curve discrete log (ECDLP) rather than factoring (RSA).
