两位以太坊研究者警告 AI 辅助数学或将在数月内破解加密钱包签名系统
AI math breakthroughs have Ethereum researchers debating how fast wallet security could collapse
以太坊研究者 Justin Drake 和 Vitalik Buterin 警告，AI 辅助数学可能在最坏情况下数月内破解加密钱包的 ECDSA 签名系统。Drake 建议将资金转移到从未签署过交易的地址以保护私钥，而 Buterin 则提醒不要过快行动，主张长期依赖仅基于哈希函数的架构，因即使是量子安全的格状方案也可能被 AI 进展削弱。目前尚未有人实际破解当前 ECDSA 签名方案。
Two leading Ethereum researchers warn that AI-assisted math could, in the worst case, break the signature system used by crypto wallets within months. Justin Drake called on the blockchain industry in a post on X to prepare a "bunker mode."
He recommends moving funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. Signing reveals the public key, which an attacker could theoretically use to derive the private key and steal the funds. As long as only the public key's hash is visible, the funds remain protected because the key cannot be recovered from that hash.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin agreed in a reply on X but warned against acting too fast. He said he's lost more money to botched migrations than to hacks. Long-term, Buterin argues for an architecture that relies as much as possible on hash functions alone, since even lattice-based schemes, often considered quantum-safe, could be weakened by advances in AI.
So far, no one has actually broken the current ECDSA signature scheme in practice.
