This video examines the critical mathematical vulnerabilities found in the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) which secures major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. We analyze how the security of an entire digital vault relies on a single temporary random number called a nonce, demonstrating how specific failures—such as nonce reuse, weak random number generation, and hardware faults—allow attackers to algebraically calculate a private key and compromise assets.
