Bitcoin Must Prepare for Quantum Risks Now, Says Stanford Cryptographer
- Quantum Risk Warning: Stanford cryptographer Dan Boneh warns that a rushed transition to post-quantum could lead to catastrophic bugs in the Bitcoin network, emphasizing the importance of carefully designing migration strategies before quantum attacks occur.
- Technical Requirements Analysis: Google's whitepaper indicates that breaking secp256k1 could require as few as 1,200 logical qubits and 500,000 physical qubits, intensifying the debate on Bitcoin's quantum migration and prompting the community to focus on security.
- Migration Design Controversy: Boneh criticizes compressed migration timelines, arguing that proposals like BIP 361 need more comprehensive design work and additional time to ensure Bitcoin's security and stability against quantum threats.
- Hybrid Signature Proposal: Boneh suggests Bitcoin should consider hybrid signatures that combine existing elliptic curve cryptography with post-quantum schemes to avoid forced binary transitions, thereby fostering greater room for cryptographic innovation.
