Long-term threats to Bitcoin’s security are creeping up faster than markets expect, analyst warns. About one-third of all Bitcoin “appears vulnerable to long-range quantum attacks.” BlackRock also ...

According to one of the world’s leading cryptographers, Bitcoin’s elliptic curve could have a secret backdoor, invalidating all underlying security. A Bitcoin public key is created by applying ...

Quantum computing is not currently an existential threat to Bitcoin, but as capital becomes more institutional and long-term, ...

Charles Edwards warns that quantum computing could depress Bitcoin price below $50,000 if the network does not address ...

For years, the conversation around quantum computing and cryptocurrency has been dominated by a single, breathless question: Will a quantum breakthrough kill Bitcoin? The fear is simple enough.

However, Michael Saylor, the pioneer of BTC corporate treasury, doesn’t share a similar urgency. In fact, he recently noted that quantum computing will “harden BTC,” not break it.

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

The recent Project Eleven bounty for quantum computers cracking cryptographic keys is a joke. It provides no serious incentive at all. Recently, Project Eleven (a quantum computing research group) ...

A private key, also known as a secret key, is a cryptographic key that is used to decrypt or digitally sign data. It is a crucial component in asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC ...

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) has emerged as a cornerstone of modern public‐key systems, offering high levels of security with relatively small key sizes. Central to many advanced cryptographic ...

According to an early Bitcoin (BTC) developer, Satoshi Nakamoto sought help from outside cryptographers prior to launching Bitcoin. Laszlo Hanyecz, who worked closely with Satsohi in 2010, told ...
