Cardano Founder: Security incident

TL;DR Charles Hoskinson argues that Vitalik Buterin’s concerns about AI-driven mathematical breakthroughs could delay the adoption of lattice-based post-quantum cryptography. Hoskinson says decades of research have improved attacks against lattice systems without demonstrating a general method to break properly configured schemes. The dispute highlights competing approaches to quantum security, including lattice-based encryption and hash-based cryptography, ... Read more
