Introducing Epoch, Shielded Labs’ new research and engineering project focused on hardening Zcash from future threats:

AI-powered hackers
Quantum Computing risk
Adversarial governments

We plan to achieve this through formal verification of critical code and by deploying “post-everything” cryptography.

Epoch will ensure Zcash remains designed for the threats we face today and for whatever comes next. ⤵️

The participants at HashSmash continue to push the envelope.

A 39-round SHA-256 collision attack has recently been pushed under 100 bits.

Congrats to @cyberaxe for the breakthrough, and @FrostForger for the optimizations.

Did we push round 39 SHA256 collision attack below 100 bits? Yes we did.
Kudos to @cyberaxe for the method that cut 15 bits at once and @FrostForger for optimisations!
