Wu learned that Yehuda Lindell, head of cryptography at Coinbase, stated that there is no consensus in the cryptography community that elliptic curve cryptography is likely to be cracked, and there is currently no evidence to support this judgment. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded in a related discussion, expressing concern that there may be undiscovered, more efficient attack algorithms targeting the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem and bilinear pairwise cryptography, and that AI could potentially accomplish in five years what humans would take over fifty years to achieve in mathematical research, thus accelerating the discovery of these algorithms.
