I'm writing a series about blockchain tech and possible future security risks. This is the third part of the series introducing Quantum resistant blockchains.

Part 1 and part 2 will give you usefull basic blockchain knowledge that is not explained in this part.

Part 1 here

Part 2 here

Quantum resistant blockchains explained.

- How would quantum computers pose a threat to blockchain?

- Expectations in the field of quantum computer development.

- Quantum resistant blockchains

- Why is it easier to change cryptography for centralized systems such as banks and websites than for blockchain?

- Conclusion

The fact that whatever is registered on a blockchain can’t be tampered with is one of the great reasons for the success of blockchain. Looking ahead, awareness is growing in the blockchain ecosystem that quantum computers might cause the need for some changes in the cryptography that is used by blockchains to prevent hackers from forging transactions.

How would quantum computers pose a threat to blockchain?

First, let’s get a misconception out of the way. When talking about the risk quantum computers could pose for blockchain, some people think about the risk of quantum computers out-hashing classical computers. This, however, is not expected to pose a real threat when the time comes.

This paper explains why: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.10377.pdf "In this section, we investigate the advantage a quantum computer would have in performing the hashcash PoW used by Bitcoin. Our findings can be summarized as follows: Using Grover search, a quantum computer can perform the hashcash PoW by performing quadratically fewer hashes than is needed by a classical computer. However, the extreme speed of current specialized ASIC hardware for performing the hashcash PoW, coupled with much slower projected gate speeds for current quantum architectures, essentially negates this quadratic speedup, at the current difficulty level, giving quantum computers no advantage. Future improvements to quantum technology allowing gate speeds up to 100GHz could allow quantum computers to solve the PoW about 100 times faster than current technology.

However, such a development is unlikely in the next decade, at which point classical hardware may be much faster, and quantum technology might be so widespread that no single quantum enabled agent could dominate the PoW problem."

The real point of vulnerability is this: attacks on signatures wherein the private key is derived from the public key. That means that if someone has your public key, they can also calculate your private key, which is unthinkable using even today’s most powerful classical computers. So in the days of quantum computers, the public-private keypair will be the weak link. Quantum computers have the potential to perform specific kinds of calculations significantly faster than any normal computer. Besides that, quantum computers can run algorithms that take fewer steps to get to an outcome, taking advantage of quantum phenomena like quantum entanglement and quantum superposition. So quantum computers can run these certain algorithms that could be used to make calculations that can crack cryptography used today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic-curve_cryptography#Quantum_computing_attacks and https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/598.pdf

Most blockchains use Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) cryptography. Using a quantum computer, Shor's algorithm can be used to break ECDSA. (See for reference: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0301141 and pdf: https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0301141.pdf ) Meaning: they can derive the private key from the public key. So if they got your public key (and a quantum computer), then they got your private key and they can create a transaction and empty your wallet.

RSA has the same vulnerability while RSA will need a stronger quantum computer to be broken than ECDSA.

At this point in time, it is already possible to run Shor’s algorithm on a quantum computer. However, the amount of qubits available right now makes its application limited. But it has been proven to work, we have exited the era of pure theory and entered the era of practical applications:

So far Shor's algorithm has the most potential, but new algorithms might appear which are more efficient. Algorithms are another area of development that makes progress and pushes quantum computer progress forward. A new algorithm called Variational Quantum Factoring is being developed and it looks quite promising. " The advantage of this new approach is that it is much less sensitive to error, does not require massive error correction, and consumes far fewer resources than would be needed with Shor’s algorithm. As such, it may be more amenable for use with the current NISQ (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum) computers that will be available in the near and medium term." https://quantumcomputingreport.com/news/zapata-develops-potential-alternative-to-shors-factoring-algorithm-for-nisq-quantum-computers/

It is however still in development, and only works for 18 binary bits at the time of this writing, but it shows new developments that could mean that, rather than a speedup in quantum computing development posing the most imminent threat to RSA and ECDSA, a speedup in the mathematical developments could be even more consequential. More info on VQF here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.08927

It all comes down to this: when your public key is visible, which is always necessary to make transactions, you are at some point in the future vulnerable for quantum attacks. (This also goes for BTC, which uses the hash of the public key as an address, but more on that in the following articles.) If you would have keypairs based on post quantum cryptography, you would not have to worry about that since in that case not even a quantum computer could derive your private key from your public key.

The conclusion is that future blockchains should be quantum resistant, using post-quantum cryptography. It’s very important to realize that post quantum cryptography is not just adding some extra characters to standard signature schemes. It’s the mathematical concept that makes it quantum resistant. “The problem with currently popular algorithms is that their security relies on one of three hard mathematical problems: the integer factorization problem, the discrete logarithm problem or the elliptic-curve discrete logarithm problem. All of these problems can be easily solved on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor's algorithm. Even though current, publicly known, experimental quantum computers lack processing power to break any real cryptographic algorithm, many cryptographers are designing new algorithms to prepare for a time when quantum computing becomes a threat.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography

Expectations in the field of quantum computer development.

To give you an idea what the expectations of quantum computer development are in the field:

When will ECDSA be at risk? Estimates are only estimates, there are several to be found so it's hard to really tell.

The report on this subject from the National Academy of Sciences doesn't make an estimate on when the risk would occur. They acknowledge this is quite impossible due to the fact there are a lot of unknowns and due to the fact that you have to base any findings only on publicly available information, obviously excluding any non available advancements from private companies and national efforts. The report does have an advice though:

"Even if a quantum computer that can decrypt current cryptographic ciphers is more than a decade off, the hazard of such a machine is high enough—and the time frame for transitioning to a new security protocol is sufficiently long and uncertain—that prioritization of the development, standardization, and deployment of post-quantum cryptography is critical for minimizing the chance of a potential security and privacy disaster."

Quantum resistant blockchains

“Quantum resistant” is only used to describe networks and cryptography that are secure against any attack by a quantum computer of any size in the sense that there is no algorithm known that makes it possible for a quantum computer to break the applied cryptography and thus that system.

Also, to determine if a project is fully quantum resistant, you would need to take in account not only how a separate element that is implemented in that blockchain is quantum resistant, but also the way it is implemented. As with any type of security check, there should be no backdoors, in which case your blockchain would be just a cardboard box with bulletproof glass windows. Sounds obvious, but since this is kind of new territory, there are still some misconceptions. What is considered safe now, might not be safe in the age of quantum computers. I will address some of these in the following chapters, but first I will elaborate a bit about the special vulnerability of blockchain compared to centralized systems.

Why is it easier to change cryptography for centralized systems such as banks and websites than for blockchain?

Developers of a centralized system can decide from one day to the other that they make changes and update the system without the need for consensus from the nodes. They are in charge, and they can dictate the future of the system. But a decentralized blockchain will need to reach consensus amongst the nodes to update. Meaning that the majority of the nodes will need to upgrade and thus force the blockchain to only have the new signatures to be valid. We can’t have the old signature scheme to be valid besides the new quantum resistant signature scheme. Because that would mean that the blockchain would still allow the use of vulnerable, old public- and private keys and thus the old vulnerable signatures for transactions. So at least the majority of the nodes need to upgrade to make sure that blocks which are constructed using the old rules and thus the old vulnerable signature scheme, are rejected by the network. This will eventually result in a fully upgraded network which only accepts the new post quantum signature scheme in transactions. So, consensus is needed. The most well-known example of how that can be a slow process is Bitcoin’s need to scale. Even though everybody agrees on the need for a certain result, reaching consensus amongst the community on how to get to that result is a slow and political process. Going quantum resistant will be no different, and since it will cause lesser performance due to bigger signatures and it will need hardware upgrades quite likely it will be postponed rather than be done fast and smooth due to lack of consensus. And because there are several quantum resistant signature schemes to choose from, agreement an automatic given. The discussion will be which one to use, and how and when to implement it. The need for consensus is exclusively a problem decentralized systems like blockchain will face.

Another issue for decentralized systems that change their signature scheme, is that users of decentralized blockchains will have to manually transfer/ migrate their coins/ tokens to a quantum safe address and that way decouple their old private key and activate a new quantum resistant private key that is part of an upgraded quantum resistant network. Users of centralized networks, on the other hand, do not need to do much, since it would be taken care of by their centralized managed system. As you know, for example, if you forget your password of your online bank account, or some website, they can always send you a link, or secret question, or in the worst case they can send you mail by post to your house address and you would be back in business. With the decentralized systems, there is no centralized entity who has your data. It is you who has this data, and only you. So in the centralized system there is a central entity who has access to all the data including all the private accessing data, and therefore this entity can pull all the strings. It can all be done behind your user interface, and you probably wouldn’t notice a thing.

And a third issue will be the lost addresses. Since no one but you has access to your funds, your funds will become inaccessible once you lose your private key. From that point, an address is lost, and the funds on that address can never be moved. So after an upgrade, those funds will never be moved to a quantum resistant address, and thus will always be vulnerable to a quantum hack.

To summarize: banks and websites are centralized systems, they will face challenges, but decentralized systems like blockchain will face some extra challenges that won't apply for centralized systems.

  • Updating the signature scheme will need consensus in the sense that all nodes need to update after implementation of a quantum resistant signature scheme.
  • Users of blockchain will personally need to move their funds from old addresses to new quantum resistant addresses. You won't need to move your bank funds.
  • Lost addresses where people lost access to their funds will never be moved and stay vulnerable to quantum hacks. Blockchain doesn't know their users, can't communicate with them and won't be able to distinguish coins on lost addresses from coins from users who still have access but somehow have not migrated their coins after a quantum resistant update. So burning lost coins will be legally a big issue.

All issues specific for blockchain and not for banks or websites or any other centralized system.

Conclusion

Bitcoin and all currently running traditional cryptocurrencies are not excluded from this problem. In fact, it will be central to ensuring their continued existence over the coming decades. All cryptocurrencies will need to change their signature schemes in the future. This won’t be an easy transfer. There are some huge challenges to overcome. I will get to this in the next few chapters.



How to learn about bitcoin?

I just finished reading Digital Gold, and it was great, but I want a better understanding of the technicals . I found Mastering Bitcoin, do you guys think it’s worth the time? It has five starts but it’s quite long and I don’t want to waste my time. Also , this link says CryptoAssets is a good book on learning about cryptocurrency investing . Does anyone have any opinion about it? Is there a better crypto investing book out there? I got these books from www.tradingbtx.com do you guys think there’s a better book list out there ?

Store of Value vs Usefulness: Or Why Monero Should Outperform Bitcoin

Bitcoin maximalists rest Bitcoin's future value on the expectation that it will maintain or increases purchasing power over the long term (Bitcoin = Store of Value). In an optimistic scenario, maximalists anticipate government adoption in the form of central banks buying Bitcoin in order to support the value of their fiat currencies (Hypberbitcoinization). Many maximalists also support the possibility that monetary systems will revert back to a commodity-based fiat system in which Bitcoin is the commodity instead of gold.

I'm increasingly wary of all three possibilities. The fiat-based USD-as-reserve currency system hasn't triggered a crash to the extent that the previous commodity-based system has (The Great Depression). Some even argue that the gold standard contributed to TGD. We have, however, seen numerous hyperinflation scenarios as a direct result of fiat printing drastically outpacing growth. Central banks in highly developed countries, specifically the US, have thus far managed the debt-based system without major fault. Yes, inflation is a hidden tax that benefits those first introduced to the new money at the expense of those who see it last. How long this system can continue is the question.

If the current system does continue without a paradigm-shifting event, the real value proposition of a cryptocurrency isn't exclusively its SoV, but of its usefulness. As we plunge deeper into a digital, global economy, the old ways of transacting value have increasing limitations. Cryptocurrency presents a solution, which both Bitcoin and Monero satisfy — but Monero to a greater degree. The ability to transact privately without being censored being the primary advantage Monero has over Bitcoin. (Although it's yet to be known whether or not privacy will have any real value.)

If the fiat-based system continues, we should expect all asset classes to generally trend upward. There will be boom and bust cycles, but equities, commodities, and cryptocurrencies should generally increase in value relative to fiat. This is, of course, a generalization. Some cryptocurrencies will die in the same way some corporations (equities) will go bankrupt and dissolve. Some classes will outperform others. Gold could, for example, outperform Bitcoin.

Most things being equal, IF privacy has value, Monero should outperform Bitcoin for that reason. However, if Bitcoin plays a role in a new global financial system paradigm, and privacy has little value, then Bitcoin should massively outperform Monero. Going long on both BTC and XMR is the safe play IMO, with XMR representing a higher percentage of one's portfolio.

My very long shower thought.

Take the pain out of your crypto tax return

At my crypto tax calculator, we want to increase the knowledge and awareness of the impact made by blockchain and crypto products. One topic most people don’t seem to be aware of, even as cryptoasset owners, is the benefits and implications of crypto taxes. We break it down for you to understand exactly what that means and how it could affect you this tax season.

The IRS treats “virtual currency” as property, which means every trade you complete with cryptoassets is a taxable event.

If you sell your cryptoassets to purchase goods (iPhone X or a 1965 Ford Mustang) or services (an event planner for your Grandmother’s 90th birthday bash or a developer to build an app for your business), it’s a taxable event.

If you exchange your Ether for Bitcoin or vice versa, it’s a taxable event.

If you liquidate your cryptoassets for USD, it’s a taxable event.

Due to the increasing popularity and value of certain cryptoassets, you have the potential to make a substantial return by purchasing Bitcoin or Ether for investment purposes. It’s important to understand how capital gains taxes work if your crypto investments increase in value. A capital gain occurs when you sell a cryptoasset for more than you spent to buy a cryptoasset. In some cases, capital gains taxes can add a substantial amount to your tax bill. When considering your capital gains tax costs you should consider the following variables: federal tax rates (which offer preferential treatment for long-term capital gains) and state income tax rates. At the federal level, the amount of time you hold onto a cryptoasset has an impact on your capital gains tax rate. If you have held assets for less than a year then they are subject to short-term capital gains rates which are the same as your ordinary income tax rate. If you have held assets for more than a year then gains are subject to preferential, long-term capital gains tax treatment.

Happy Trails: Trekking a Fraudsters from Newbie to Expert!

His Post (edited only for content)

I've tried my hands on a lot of stuffs for a very long time now, Stripe, Brain tree etc and have amassed knowledge and figured out a lot of things along the line. Don't want anything in return just sharing knowledge I got from the community which has helped me and might help someone out there taking there first steps and struggling.

My Complete carding method from A-Z. (for this tutorial we are going to be targeting Jet.com) there are plenty other card able sites out there, most websites are card able all depends on you.

How I card Jet.com and other websites for Phones, Playstation, Xbox, Tablets and laptops.

I first purchase a world or business cc from ggmclouded auto shop or lot, request for world and business cards, citibank bins work best for me and I can call in and check balance before hand. After getting my cc, I call the citibank toll free and follow the voice prompts to check the balance. To make calls download Burner app from the itunes or google or use google voice or any one you prefer. After calling the bank to get the balance which includes the last transaction card holder made, knowing this would give you an idea of how much item to purchase and not raise any trigger. After this I proceed and create an email with cc holder name. I use paid domain emails for my carding. Using a domain email adds more legitimacy to your order. assuming cc name is Donald Trump, I'll create an email [email]Donald@ringsandroses.com[/email] rings and roses been my domain. I usually use domains from my stripe operations and these websites are well done and would convince if they decided to take a look at it.

After creating the email, its time to mask your location. its always best practice to use an rdp or socks 5 from the same city your cc holder is. to purchase socks5 go to luxsocks.su and for rdp xdedic never fails. I prefer working on an rdp. So I head to xDedic and purchase a clean residential rdp from my cc city. Make sure you're always on a vpn whenever you wanna connect to your rdp. I use mulvad vpn, affordable and they don't keep logs and also accept btc. so vpn - rdp.

AFter logging into the rdp, download firefox if it isn't already there, go to firefox about config and disable webrtc just search for peer.connection and toggle to disable.

go to iptrace, whoer.net, ip-score and make sure your ip is clean as can be and whoer returns 100%

download user agent changer and change to a safari on a mac or ipad if you so desire, haven't had an order canceled this way maybe they take this into consideration. After this is done, youre set to card so I go to jet.com and sign up with fullz name, the email I created, phone number of my burner and my drop address which is on the same city as the one on cc file.

AFter I create an account I add my fav items to card a Samsung S7, surface pro 4 or a playstation console or any item I feel like. the Surface 4 pro have the best resell value and don't let the price make you feel you can't card that, its probably a good idea to start with the playstation 4 to build confidence but with a good card you can do the surface pros of over $1k

After you find an item you wanna card, add to your cart and don't check out immediately. Go to the settings and add your cc details as your stored payment method of choice then come back a few hours later and checkout and once it goes through, use billing as billing and your drop as shipping and call the customer rep immediately and spek to tell them you moved or you wanna ship to your office just call and confirm and tell them any bulshit story you only need to call if you're doing the S7 and surface pro or items over $300 I've never called when its just a ps4 of below $300 and it ships. Jet.com do not own most of the products own display they act as a marketplace and they are all after numbers and sells.

This is how I card Jet.com many other cardable websites, officedepot is way easier than Jet but I only do instore pick ups with them but they ship easy too.

Forgive my spelling errors, its 5 in the morning and I haven't got any sleep yet.

Hope I've helped someone out there... All the best and everyone is open to sharing ideas and working methods on this thread.

Meet us in Miami and hear about the new 0xcert milestone!

If you're in Miami next week, make sure you join us for the North American Bitcoin Conference.

The next in the series of Bitcoin conferences organized by Keynote and Moe Levin will be the 7th annual gathering of thousands of Bitcoin and blockchain A-listers, executives, investors, and government officials.

The James L Knight Center in Miami will be the host to over 150 speakers that will take the stage on January 17 and 18.

Among those, we're excited to have our CEO Kristijan Sedlak join the line-up with a very special task - not only will he present 0xcert to a wide blockchain-savvy audience looking for new insights, updates, and solutions for their businesses, but he'll also deliver a special treat.

Written in milestone

This is an especially exciting and important time for us. After months of all the hard work our developers have poured into the final code, we're approaching our next major milestone at a breakneck pace. And the Miami audience will be lucky to hear about it first.

The product that Kristijan will announce will mark a new approach towards building decentralized apps and will dramatically change the way developers create and interact with them.

It will be 0xcert time at the North American Bitcoin Conference on Thursday, January 17, at 5pm Miami time.

0xcertifying the venue at our non-fungible booth

If the 15 min speech by Kristijan will not answer all your questions about 0xcert and what kind of solution can we provide, make sure you stop by our booth where other members of the 0xcert team will be happy to answer them. And - while you're there, get yourself some 0xcert merch.

Just look for sky blue and white, and get closer to non-fungibility by meeting the 0xcert team.

Live or remote - Miami is not to be missed.

Even though we try to attend important events around the globe as frequently as possible and we're no strangers to border control, the next week's event will not be like any other.

Important, company-defining milestones only come by every once in a while, but when they do, it's a thing everyone on the team is talking about for months.

And we cannot wait to share it with you.

Make sure you follow our social media closely, as we'll do our best to convert them into a window to Kristijan's talk in Miami to let you watch the new 0xcert product meet its new audience.

We welcome you onto the 0xcert journey on either side of the screen. Miami, bring it on!
