Ben Sigman, an active collaborator in the Bitcoiner ecosystem, conducted on June 26 an experiment that modifies Bluewallet, a popular Wallet to manage Bitcoin (BTC), integrating post-chartography, with the aim of demonstrating practical defenses against the alleged danger of quantum attacks. Sigman, CEO of Bitcoin Libre, has made a Bluewallet fork, that is, a fork…
The length of the decomposed key was 22 bits, much less than the traditional 2,048. Bitcoin does not use RSA, but quantum advances question the need to shield the network. A June 24 report explains that researchers at the University of Shanghai They have managed to decompose a 22 -bit RSA key. This meant breaking…
The researcher highlights the combined hardware improvement, the correction of errors and algorithms. It proposes an urgent transition to post-quantic cryptography. Pierre-Luc, a researcher and quantum computer specialist, stated that there is a “Little five -year -old window” to prevent this technology from being used to compromise the safety of cryptographic systems. The analyst, who…
Quantum computers could theoretically break Bitcoin security encryptions. There are more alarmist analysts than others; Most agree that the quantum risk is distant. The Ionq technology company announced on June 9 an ambitious goal: to build by 2030 a quantum computer with 2 million physical cubits and 80,000 logical cubits (Qubitsin English). A day later,…
The company estimates developing quantum applications to detect fraud and cybersecurity. Qubits are the information processing unit for quantum computers. The Oxford Quantum Circuit (OQC) company announced on June 5 that it intends to revolutionize the scalability of quantum computing. By the year 2028, OQC plans to reach 200 Qubits logical and by 2034, the…
Other signature schemes could replace the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm. The replacement would seek to prevent the derivation of private keys from public bitcoin addresses. The community of users and developers have expressed their concern about the future of Bitcoin in the face of the advent of quantum computing. To date, concerns have mainly…
Recently, the technology giant Google launched a quantum chip called Willow. The processing capacity of this chip has been described in an attractive way for marketing, saying that it can solve in 5 minutes a mathematical problem “that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years (that is, 10 25), a number that far exceeds the…
On December 9, Google launched Willow, its quantum chip with a power of 105 qubits. Other analysts, in agreement with Adam Back, understand that this risk would be distant. The debate over advances in quantum computing and its potential impact on cryptography continues to generate reflections. Recently, CriptoNoticias reported that analysts have dismissed the theoretical…
Hypothetically, a powerful quantum computer would compromise BTC’s cryptography. Bitcoin uses algorithms to protect digital signatures for transactions and mining. On December 9, tech giant Google announced the launch of Willow, its new quantum chip. This advance sparked debates about the potential impact of this technology on the security of Bitcoin (BTC), whose cryptography is…
