What happens if the cia have a back door for sha 256

>> No.8136843

>>8136821
theres always monero

>> No.8136863

Very unlikely. The standard is open.

Also, SHA hashing means nothing. There are infinite ways to produce the same SHA hash, but collisions are very rare and astrocalky unlikely.

They probably do

Then they already have backdoor into the encryption used by every financial institution on the planet and nothing matters anyways.

and then what? stealing all coins?

Idk about CIA, but one thing I like to think about is that mining is essentially narrowing the search for a SHA256 collision. As difficulty increases, the number of acceptable hashes decreases. Idk the math, it's probably astronomical, but at some point, a collision becomes likely.

They essentially are every financial institution no backdoor needed.

Yea and they said pgp was unbreakable, NSA can crack that shit like an egg

>> No.8137161

Don't put anything past an agency that get literal billions of dollars in black budget funding to create a technological superiority in the world.

so you're basically saying bitcoin was financial incentive to globally crack sha256 in 20 years ?

It's not like the algo is a mystery. Anyone can look at it and try to crack it, and there are huge financial incentives to do so with Bitcoin around. You could look at the constants the NSA chose, any many have, and they all concluded those constants were chosen as to be sufficiently random enough to be trusted. At which point one could point and say 'AHA!', but then again, go look at the code and try to crack it.
