Hey guys,
With quantum computing on the horizon, don’t you think it’s time to start thinking about how Bitcoin’s security might be affected? Right now, Bitcoin uses ECDSA, but what happens when quantum computers can break it? There are two algorithms that are getting a lot of attention as possible solutions: NTRU and Kyber. But which one is actually better for Bitcoin? Let’s dive into it .
1-Security, Have you heard that NTRU is based on lattice problems? It’s pretty resistant to both regular and quantum attacks. But do you think it’ll stay secure as quantum computing advances?
Then there’s Kyber. It’s also lattice-based and is actually part of the NIST post-quantum standardization. Do you think it’s as solid as they say, or could there be weaknesses we haven’t found yet?
2–Efficiency, NTRU is known for being pretty efficient with smaller key sizes. Doesn’t that sound like a win for Bitcoin, especially when speed and efficiency matter?
But what about Kyber? It’s efficient too, but its key sizes are bigger. Do you think that could slow things down when it comes to Bitcoin’s scalability?
3–Key Sizes, NTRU uses smaller key sizes (around 1-2 KB). How important do you think that is for Bitcoin’s storage and bandwidth?
But Kyber uses larger key sizes (around 3-4 KB). Could this be a problem as Bitcoin grows, or do you think it’s manageable?
4–Real-World Use, NTRU has been used in other cryptos for years. It’s proven, but do you think it’ll be able to handle the demands of Bitcoin in the long run?
Kyber is newer but is already gaining a lot of attention. Could it be the future of quantum-resistant crypto, or is it too early to say?
So, what do you think? NTRU looks fast and efficient, but is it strong enough for the future? Or is Kyber the way to go, with its solid reputation and growing support? Let me know your thoughts!
