If quantum computers capable of breaking Bitcoin’s algorithm were around today, the network’s security could already be ...

Bitcoin relies on several algorithms to secure the coin from theft. Prominent among these is the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). An ECDSA employs asymmetric encryption to generate ...

BTQ’s Bitcoin Quantum Core 0.2 replaces Bitcoin’s existing signatures, which are vulnerable to quantum computers, with new ...

Quantum computers could break Bitcoin's encryption far sooner than many people believe, according to Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards.

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 ...

Other experts in the crypto community, such as Adam Back and Peter Todd, are less convinced of the near-term threat.

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) ...

Segregated Witness has entered its final testing stage before roll-out on the Bitcoin network. That is good news, most importantly because the innovation introduces a capacity increase to allow for ...

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 ...
