Frostsnap Fixes Two Security Issues, Releases v0.4.0 with Firmware Downgrade Protection

Odaily News: Bitcoin multisig hardware wallet Frostsnap has released version v0.4.0, fixing two security issues, with no user funds lost so far. First, a malicious signing request could mark a certain output as belonging to the user's wallet; the device did not verify this claim and would not display it on the confirmation screen, potentially allowing funds to be transferred to an address the user had never seen. Second, change addresses could fall outside the wallet's recovery scan range, causing funds to appear missing after backup restoration, although the funds were actually still in the wallet. After the update, the app will prompt users to upgrade their device firmware, and new firmware downgrade protection has been added. The Frostsnap team recommends that users update the app and firmware as soon as possible.

Bitcoin Throughput About 3 TPS with SHRINCS, Blockstream Submits Quantum-Resistant Upgrade Proposal

Odaily News: Blockstream has submitted a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, suggesting specific upgrades for its post-quantum signature scheme SHRINCS. SHRINCS has completed production testing on Blockstream's Liquid sidechain, with a minimum signature size of 548 bytes, about nine times larger than Bitcoin's existing 64-byte Schnorr signatures, but smaller than NIST-approved schemes like SPHINCS+. Blockstream research shows that if SHRINCS is adopted, Bitcoin throughput could remain at about 3 TPS, close to current levels; if NIST-approved schemes are adopted, throughput could drop to 0.36 to 0.5 TPS.

Blockstream releases SHRINCS quantum-safe signature scheme BIP

Blockstream has released a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) proposing the SHRINCS post-quantum signature scheme. SHRINCS is a hash-based post-quantum signature scheme with a minimum size of 548 bytes, approximately 9 times larger than the existing Schnorr signatures, but much smaller than the NIST-approved ML-DSA and SPHINCS+ schemes. The scheme has completed production environment testing on the Liquid sidechain and includes a copy of the Bitcoin white paper.The scheme also has limitations. The BIP warns that security proofs are still pending, and the scheme is stateful, requiring the storage of used keys for each signature, which increases the signature size by 16 bytes with each use. In the event of device loss, approximately 5777 bytes are needed for a stateless fallback transaction recovery. Blockstream estimates that Bitcoin can maintain a speed of about 3 TPS after adopting SHRINCS, which can be increased to 6.7 TPS when combined with ZK proof aggregation.
