Nostr's Post-Quantum Leap: Why Your Private Keys Aren't Safe From Tomorrow's Threats
Here's the sobering reality: "A Nostr public key is published to every relay it touches, and Shor's algorithm recovers a private key from a public key". Shor's algorithm, running on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, could break the elliptic curve cryptography that secures every Nostr event. The consequences are devastating: encrypted messages become readable retroactively, and events can be forged.
