Capitalista de risco aponta risco quântico para dados de autenticação do bitcoin

Andrew Gault alerta que o bitcoin enfrenta uma ameaça quântica maior vinda de mensagens criptografadas que circulam entre instituições do que de chaves de carteiras expostas. Ele aponta para uma estratégia de "colher agora, descriptografar depois" que já está sendo utilizada por adversários.

Andrew Gault, CEO da empresa de redes ZeroTier e sócio fundador da 7percent Ventures, afirmou que a indústria do bitcoin está focada na parte errada do problema quântico. Gault observou que adversários estão coletando mensagens interbancárias, registros de pagamentos e assinaturas digitais hoje para descriptografá-los futuramente, assim que os computadores quânticos avançarem.

New analysis reveals that over 30 percent of Bitcoin's supply sits in wallets vulnerable to future quantum attacks, with exchanges holding a disproportionate share of the exposure. A startup has proposed a soft-fork solution to protect even dormant holdings, including Satoshi Nakamoto's estimated 1.1 million coins.

Physicists at MIT have developed a theoretical technique inspired by the film Interstellar to send messages backwards in time using quantum entanglement. The approach mimics closed time-like curves and surprisingly improves communication through noisy channels. While actual time travel remains impossible, the idea could enhance conventional systems.
