Two security papers have recently been released, showcasing the overall insecurity of bitcoin brain wallets. Speed Optimizations in Bitcoin Key Recovery Attacks and The Bitcoin Brain Drain: A Short Paper on the Use and Abuse of Bitcoin Brain Wallets. Both list Ryan Castellucci as an author, among other researchers. Castellucci recently made headlines by revealing how insecure brain wallets are during a presentation at DefCon earlier this year.
