Very early Bitcoin wallets used HKDF type structures (for all addresses belonging to the wallet), but all crypto wallets moved to structures where all addresses share the ECC mathematical relationship.
My question is, if the ECC is broken or a quantum computer related to encryption arrives, can you consider one or more addresses belonging to the wallet and discover the relationship between addresses in the wallet?
For example, can I get the private key of a public key belonging to a particular wallet and derive the master private key of the wallet? Can other public keys be assigned to the same wallet?
