<lza_menace> FWIW I’ve always considered quantum related topics to be pointless noise, unsure if this is the same

<ravfx:xmr.mx> Yeah, rsa is considered kinda broken since a long time

<ravfx:xmr.mx> 1024- keys are already considered unsafe

<ravfx:xmr.mx> Monero is not using rsa fortunately

<lza_menace> Article mentions elliptic curve

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> @lza_menace: it looks extremely suspect and probably it's fake preprints.org/manuscript/202510.1649

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> * "This version is not peer-reviewed."

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> * paper names the algorithm after the authors (everyone knows you are supposed to wait for other people to do that, screams clout chasing. Regev did not do that when he published his algorithm despite it being better than Shor's)

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> * there is barely any math in the paper at all. There is not even an analysis of the complexity (?????). It looks like they just implemented some nonsense then did a bunch of "experiments" to say it's faster, no actual proofs or anything? Math papers don't do experiments for that, they do math[... more lines follow, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/puOS0OwKbURJWVVO ]

<321bob321> No peer review

hm, this preprint looks like it talks about the complexity, sure. O(n log n).

<kiersten5821:matrix.org> no, that is the complexity of ntt, not even the quantum one...

<omurad:matrix.org> Is there a reason why there's no official support for p2p (torrent) binary downloads? It would help offload what I assume is a significant (though sponsored) CDN bill

<omurad:matrix.org> I found this discussion from the pre-CDN days, but doesn't look like it went anywhere

<omurad:matrix.org> repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site/-/merge_requests/515

<omurad:matrix.org> Since builds are deterministic, releases would only need magnet links. Anyone who compiles the binary can seed it if the hash matches

there is a PR for it

<omurad:matrix.org> Awesome! Thanks for you sharing

<jeffro256> Here's a less enthusiastic (or sensationalist) take on the JVG algorithm: postquantum.com/security-pqc/cybersecurity-apocalypse-in-2026-jvg > <@lza_menace> Giga nerd I know shared this: securityweek.com/quantum-decryption…of-rsa-is-much-closer-than-expected

<jeffro256> One of the more interesting passages:

<jeffro256> > Perhaps the most crucial aspect of this announcement is the commercial context. Public records indicate that the lead author is the CEO of EigenQ and holds leadership roles in TAURIA – commercial enterprises that actively develop and sell post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions and “quantum-proof” technologies to enterprise clients.

<jeffro256> > While commercial involvement in academic research is entirely standard, the combination of factors here warrants careful scrutiny. Publishing a non-peer-reviewed preprint claiming an imminent “Cybersecurity Apocalypse,” accompanied by an aggressive corporate press release urging enterprise networks to immediately [... more lines follow, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/w_Cd9ewKdzB0QlBF ]
