AI poses threat to lattice cryptography within two years, expert warns

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A cryptographer has warned that advancements in AI could break lattice-based cryptography within the next two years, potentially before quantum computers pose a threat. This concern is a significant factor driving Ethereum's current roadmap towards a hash-only security approach. The expert suggests that while elliptic curves are already considered vulnerable, lattices, which are currently thought to be secure, may also face significant challenges due to AI's progress in mathematical analysis.
