Crypto's Quantum Problem by XueDAO & Whitepaper Reading Taipei
Explore Google's new paper on breaking secp256k1, the signature curve for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and discuss the quantum problem in cryptocurrency. The session will cover attack costs, models, and differing exposures for Bitcoin and Ethereum, led by Ko-Wei Tseng.
Crypto's Quantum Problem by XueDAO & Whitepaper Reading Taipei
Explore Google's new paper on breaking secp256k1, the signature curve for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and discuss the quantum problem in cryptocurrency. The session will cover attack costs, models, and differing exposures for Bitcoin and Ethereum, led by Ko-Wei Tseng.
This session, organized by XueDAO and Whitepaper Reading Taipei, will analyze Google's recent research on the quantum threat to secp256k1, the cryptographic curve underpinning Bitcoin and Ethereum. It will examine the updated costs and three attack models outlined in the paper: on-spend, at-rest, and on-setup. Attendees will learn why Bitcoin and Ethereum have different vulnerabilities, with a focus on Bitcoin's mempool time window and Ethereum's broader structural exposures. The event is suitable for individuals with technical questions about blockchain security and quantum computing's impact.
