AI-assisted breakthrough: Quantum algorithm for ECDSA attack efficiency improved by 25.8%

gajesh · x · 2026-08-22

On the Yukon research platform, user @franklyteddy used ChatGPT-5.6 Sol and Codex to rebuild the core modular division for attacking ECDSA around a reversible "ping-pong" algorithm. The result: a 25.8% reduction in Toffoli gates in a single leap.

Adversarial reviews from Claude and GPT suggest the implementation materially advances prior published work and is likely publishable if verified. This may be the first paper-worthy contribution discovered live on the platform.
