ECDSA: The Lock on Every Crypto Wallet
ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) secures Bitcoin, Ethereum, and virtually every cryptocurrency. When you send a transaction, ECDSA proves ownership without revealing your private key.
How Quantum Computers Break ECDSA
Shor's algorithm on a quantum computer solves the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem in polynomial time — deriving private keys from public keys.
- Classical: ~2¹²⁸ operations (impossible)
- Quantum: ~2,000-4,000 logical qubits (approaching feasibility)
The Solution: Post-Quantum Signatures
NIST-approved algorithms replace ECDSA with quantum-resistant schemes. BMIC is the first crypto project implementing CRYSTALS-Dilithium and SPHINCS+ at the wallet level.
