Quantum computing may prove to be an existential threat to Bitcoin, but human panic and slow preparation are bigger ...

Bitcoin relies on several algorithms to secure the coin from theft. Prominent among these is the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). An ECDSA employs asymmetric encryption to generate ...

Breakthroughs from Google, Caltech, and IBM have reignited debate over “Q-Day,” when quantum computers could break Bitcoin’s cryptography.

Here’s why Quantum experts are warning that Bitcoin’s encryption could be broken by 2028 as quantum computing accelerates.

IBM scientists entangled 120 qubits in a single coherent “cat state,” a record-breaking feat in quantum computing.

Google Quantum AI revealed that its Willow processor achieved a milestone in quantum computing with the Quantum Echoes ...

According to one of the world’s leading cryptographers, Bitcoin’s elliptic curve could have a secret backdoor, invalidating all underlying security. A Bitcoin public key is created by applying ...

Established in 2012, Bitcoin Magazine is the oldest and most established source of trustworthy news, information and thought leadership on Bitcoin.

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) has emerged as a cornerstone of modern public‐key systems, offering high levels of security with relatively small key sizes. Central to many advanced cryptographic ...
