Solana 推出“Winternitz Vault”以保护用户资金免受量子计算机的侵害

Solana 开发人员推出了一项新功能，旨在保护用户资金免受量子计算机的潜在威胁。 “Solana Winternitz Vault”是一种抗量子解决方案，它使用先进的加密技术来保护数字资产免受量子计算兴起带来的风险。

Solana developers have rolled out a new feature designed to protect user funds from the potential threat posed by quantum computers. The “Solana Winternitz Vault” is a quantum-resistant solution that utilizes advanced cryptographic techniques to shield digital assets from the risks associated with the rise of quantum computing.

Solana 开发人员推出了一项新功能，旨在保护用户资金免受量子计算机构成的潜在威胁。 “Solana Winternitz Vault”是一种抗量子解决方案，利用先进的加密技术来保护数字资产免受与量子计算兴起相关的风险。

When fully developed, quantum computers are believed to have the capability to break the cryptographic algorithms that currently secure blockchain networks. This includes the widely used elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) that underpins digital wallets.

当完全开发出来时，量子计算机被认为有能力破解当前保护区块链网络的加密算法。这包括广泛使用的支持数字钱包的椭圆曲线加密技术（ECC）。

The Solana Winternitz Vault aims to address this vulnerability by employing a hash-based signature system that generates new keys for every transaction. This method makes it significantly harder for quantum computers to exploit the system and crack the private keys that protect users’ funds.

Solana Winternitz Vault 旨在通过采用基于哈希的签名系统来解决此漏洞，该系统为每笔交易生成新密钥。这种方法使得量子计算机更难利用该系统并破解保护用户资金的私钥。

The vault functions by creating a fresh set of keys each time a transaction is made, ensuring that the keys exposed during one transaction cannot be used in subsequent attacks. This system leverages a decades-old cryptographic protocol known as Winternitz One-Time Signatures, which involves generating private key scalars and hashing them multiple times to create public keys. Instead of storing the entire public key, the system only keeps a hash of it for verification, enhancing security.

保险库的功能是在每次进行交易时创建一组新的密钥，确保在一次交易期间暴露的密钥不能在后续攻击中使用。该系统利用了一种已有数十年历史的加密协议，称为 Winternitz 一次性签名，该协议涉及生成私钥标量并对它们进行多次哈希处理以创建公钥。系统不会存储整个公钥，而是仅保留其哈希值以进行验证，从而增强安全性。

While the Winternitz Vault is a major development, it’s not a mandatory upgrade for all Solana users. The feature is currently available as an optional add-on, meaning users must actively choose to store their funds in the vault for quantum protection. Those who prefer to continue using the regular Solana wallet will not benefit from this added layer of defense.

虽然 Winternitz Vault 是一项重大开发，但它并不是所有 Solana 用户的强制升级。该功能目前作为可选附加组件提供，这意味着用户必须主动选择将资金存储在金库中以实现量子保护。那些喜欢继续使用常规 Solana 钱包的人将不会从这一额外的防御层中受益。

This move comes as part of a growing push across the blockchain space to prepare for the advent of quantum computing. While experts like Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin believe that quantum computers are still decades away from being a real threat, blockchain developers are eager to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring their networks remain secure in the face of emerging technologies.

此举是整个区块链领域不断推动的一部分，旨在为量子计算的出现做好准备。虽然以太坊的 Vitalik Buterin 等专家认为量子计算机距离成为真正的威胁还需要几十年的时间，但区块链开发人员渴望保持领先地位，确保他们的网络在面对新兴技术时保持安全。
