The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on an ...
Researchers have solved one aspect of the discrete logarithm problem. This is considered to be one of the 'holy grails' of algorithmic number theory, on which the security of many cryptographic ...
Project Eleven, a quantum computing research firm, has launched the Q-Day Prize, offering 1 Bitcoin (BTC) to the first individual or team that can break an elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) key using ...
