El comité asesor de Coinbase publica un informe que indica que la amenaza de la computación cuántica se acerca, y la industria de la criptografía debe comenzar a preparar una respuesta.

Golden Finance reports that on April 22nd, a 50-page report commissioned by Coinbase states that although current quantum computers are not yet capable of cracking the encryption technologies of networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum, large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers will eventually be built, and the encryption industry must start preparing now. The report was authored by an independent advisory committee, including cryptographers and scholars such as Dan Boneh from Stanford University, Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation, and Sreeram Kannan from Eigen Labs.
The report states that the estimated time for quantum computers to crack current encryption standards ranges from several years to over ten years. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends migrating to post-quantum cryptography by 2035, but the report considers this timeline potentially optimistic. Currently, post-quantum cryptography exists and is being standardized, but post-quantum digital signatures can be tens to hundreds of times larger than existing signatures, potentially increasing block size by up to 38 times and posing challenges such as wallet migration. The Ethereum Foundation has proposed post-quantum digital signature schemes, and projects like Solana are also testing post-quantum wallet designs. The report suggests adopting flexible transition strategies such as hybrid systems to avoid sacrificing current security while preparing for future upgrades.
