L'IA représente une nouvelle menace pour la sécurité des cryptomonnaies, permettant des attaques à une échelle inédite. Des entreprises comme Elliptic développent des systèmes de conformité basés sur l'IA pour contrer ces menaces.
Elliptic, société londonienne d'analyse des blockchains, annonce une levée de 120 millions de dollars pour accélérer son déploiement international, avec des investisseurs comme la Deutsche Bank et le Nasdaq.
Giancarlo Lelli won one Bitcoin from Project Eleven's Q-Day Prize on Apr. 24 for deriving a 15-bit elliptic curve private key from its public key using publicly accessible quantum hardware — the largest demonstration of this attack class that could threaten Bitcoin and Ethereum. While a 15-bit key is nowhere near Bitcoin's 256-bit security, Google cut ECDLP-256 resource estimates 20-fold in March and set a 2029 migration deadline, with Cloudflare matching that target.
The Bitcoin community continues to debate whether cryptographically relevant quantum computers are imminent or decades away.
Project Eleven awarded 1 BTC to an Italian researcher after a public quantum computer breaks a 15-bit elliptic curve key, the largest public demonstration of its kind to date.
