The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on an ...

Somewhere on a blockchain right now, a Bitcoin address that last moved coins in 2015 is sitting with its public key fully ...

New quantum estimates reveal Bitcoin encryption may be more vulnerable soon ...

Researchers have reached a new milestone in the annals of cryptography with the factoring of the largest RSA key size ever computed and a matching computation of the largest-ever integer discrete ...

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

In the not-too-distant future—as little as a decade, perhaps, nobody knows exactly how long—the cryptography protecting your bank transactions, chat messages, and medical records from prying eyes is ...

Researchers warn that many 1024-bit keys used to secure communications on the internet today might be based on prime numbers that have been intentionally backdoored in an undetectable way. Many public ...

StarkWare’s Avihu Levy proposes "Quantum Safe Bitcoin" (QSB) a puzzle scheme secures BTC crypto transactions against quantum computing threat ...

Google's quantum paper made headlines with that number. Here's what it means, what's actually at risk, and why 6.9 million ...
