Anything about addressing the migration for countering quantum computer? Are we waiting 2030?
The NIST have
already released quantum-resistant replacements for
the SHA-256 and EDCSA encryption used by bitcoin.
They are called FIPS 203, 204
and, 205. NIST is the US federal agency that originally created SHA and EDCSA encryption methods.
NIST Releases First 3 Finalized Post-Quantum Encryption Standards• NIST has released a final set of encryption tools designed to withstand the attack of a quantum computer.• These post-quantum encryption standards secure a wide range of electronic information, from confidential
email messages to e-commerce transactions that propel the modern economy.
• NIST is encouraging computer system administrators to begin transitioning to the new standards as soon as possible.
The question is, if and when the devs will start implementing
thesethem into bitcoin?
