GPT-6 Astra cracks Enigma cipher, sparking debate on bitcoin security
- —The decryption took about 10 hours and 14.8 million key attempts
- —Rotors II-V-III and 10 plugboard pairs were recovered
- —The key was a hint — the place name Rosenow from another intercept
- —The CryptoCellar archive officially marked the telegram as decrypted
Why it matters: Enigma is not comparable in complexity to bitcoin's cryptography, but the case amplifies the debate over quantum and AI threats to BTC.
