  1. Tracking BitCoin "Q-Day".

    Researcher cracks 15-bit elliptic curve key, aka an Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Key using public quantum hardware and is awarded the “Q-Day Prize bounty" of 1 BTC.

    BitCoin and Ethereum utilize ECC - the larger 256 bit key - specifically the secp256k1 curve, for securing wallets and transactions. decrypt.co/365444/bitcoin-q-da #Bitcoin #Cryptography #Ethereum #Crypto #CryptoCurrencies #Encryption #Security #ECC #EllipticCurve #QDay #DigitalSignature #BlockChain #QuantumComputing #Quantum #BTC

  2. A lot can be achieved 3 years. Famously the Empire State Building rose to its full 102 stories in less than 2 years; the Berlin Wall fell and Germany was officially reunified in less than three; and in a similar timeframe Wikipedia went from zero to a million articles.

    Astonishingly, three years is about the time it takes a company to discover and replace its vulnerable cryptographic algorithms. Why?

  3. Salauksen maailmanloppu eli ns Q-päivä lähenee - Google aikaisti arviotaan merkittävästi

    Googlen mukaan nykyisin käytössä olevat salausmenetelmät pystytään korkkaamaan jo vuonna 2029 kvanttitietokoneiden avulla.

    Jo nyt vihamieliset toimijat keräävät verkosta vahvasti salattuja tietoja talteen, odottelemaan kovalevyn nurkalle. Kvanttilaskennan saavutettua tietyn pisteen, nuo nyt talteen kerätyt, salatut tiedot voidaan korkata auki vaivattomasti.

  4. It is a matter of time before Quantum Computing gains the ability to crack today’s core public key encryption methods.

    Our latest post on TechAptitude outlines the efforts by NIST to generate new cryptography standards to help withstand future quantum powered cyber attacks. Check it out!

  5. Too many Q-Day predictions are “by vibes.” I’ve updated my CRQC Capability Framework - the evidence-based method used by national security analysts for years.

    If you want to track Q-Day properly - QEC, connectivity, magic states, decoders, manufacturability - not hype, start here: postquantum.com/post-quantum/c

  6. A single day with 4 breakthrough quantum tech developments - each with the potential to accelerate the arrival of Q-Day.

    That’s exactly what happened on Sept 24–25.
    I break it all down in the first issue of The Quantum Observer: quantumobserver.com/p/quantums

  7. Un peu plus tard, quand l'ampleur de l'onde de choc a commencé à impregner la conscience publique, une grosse dépression collective advint, souvent mélangée à la de l'apathie. La seule note discordante était le retentissant cri de touts ceux et celles qui, contre toute notion de "progrès", avaient investi le monde physique, paysan et naturel : "nous vous l'avions bien dit !". (2/2)

  8. Q-Day — the day someone builds a quantum computer that can crack the most widely used forms of encryption — could happen in the next decade according to cybersecurity experts. That means everything could become vulnerable, for everyone. @WIRED has the story. #Cybersecurity #QDay #Tech #Technology #DataPrivacy flip.it/stmSHG
