Researcher Works to Shield Bitcoin Lightning Network From Quantum Threats
Original: ETAMU Researcher Helps Protect Bitcoin Lightning Network From Quantum Threats
A researcher at East Texas A&M University-Commerce is working on ways to protect the Bitcoin Lightning Network from potential attacks by future quantum computers. Quantum machines powerful enough to break current cryptography do not yet exist, but the crypto industry is increasingly investing in so-called post-quantum security to stay ahead of the threat. The project highlights growing academic involvement in Bitcoin's second-layer infrastructure.
Why now: Quantum computing is a rising concern across the crypto industry, and news of academic work to future-proof Bitcoin draws attention.
