hey all,
one question - today I saw a tweet which wrote that the IOTA team is developing there own cryptographic algorithms. I am not able to find the tweet again, but I want to ask you here if this is true.
Are they realy thinking that a new cryptographic algorithm needs to be developt within the IOTA project - if yes: why?
This?
Quantum-immunity: IOTA utilized a newly designed trinary hash function called Curl, which is quantum immune (Winternitz signatures)
Thanks for posting. Did somebody already some deeper research about Curl. I see it as a huge risk, if the devs are doing their own hash functions. Are they already proven as save? (Better not quantum immune but mathematically correct/save)
