Update Wallet to use a stronger cryptographic algorithm #307

Open lucca65 opened 4 years ago

lucca65 commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. So far we are not aware that our wallet is vulnerable to any know issues. But that doesn't mean that we cannot improve it. Quantum Computers can easily break our current algorithm (which is SHA-256)

Describe the solution you'd like The strongest algorithm is AES-256. The change itself should be pretty straightforward, but the migration to make sure end users don't have to notice the change will be more challenging.

Describe alternatives you've considered N/A

Additional context @Ranulfo17 asked me to check for those vulnerabilities and in all of our stack the only one I could find was this one.

@amiskov might find this a fun one! Ping me on Slack, I can share the book that guided my research
