PANews reported on February 27th, citing CoinDesk, that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin released a long-term roadmap to address the potential cybersecurity threats posed by future quantum computing by changing signature and data schemes. The roadmap points out that Ethereum is at risk of being cracked by quantum computing in several areas, including consensus validator signatures (currently BLS), data availability schemes (relying on KZG commitments), everyday wallet transaction signatures, and some zero-knowledge proofs. Buterin recommends that validators switch to more quantum-resistant hash signatures and, centered around proposal EIP-8141, pave the way for switching account signature algorithms and implementing "validation frames," thereby reducing on-chain verification costs while supporting quantum-safe signatures and proofs.
