RE: A Special Conjecture “Unbreakable Encryption”: John Nash's Letter to the NSA

in #bitcoin9 years ago

Like he writes it is only breakable via bruteforcing 2^N combinations, which at big N is not practical
but his ambivalence was that he couldnt prove that it cant be found, as indeed it is possible to simply guess the right private key on the first try! Of course, many billions of years can go by without finding it either.
