In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

Specifically, the ECDSA, the asymmetric cryptography used in Bitcoin, is vulnerable to attacks by quantum computers. Bitcoin wallets are secured by ECDSA to generate a pair of private-public keys.

But asymmetric encryption — the kind used by VPN protocols like WireGuard — requires both keys to decrypt any messages.
