Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has labeled obfuscation as the 'final boss' of cryptography, pointing out that current implementations of indistinguishability obfuscation (iO) schemes are profoundly impractical due to their 'literally galactic' runtimes.
Vitalik Buterin said obfuscation is cryptography’s “final boss,” citing impractical iO schemes with “literally galactic” runtimes.
