> You can bruteforce AES-256 if you were using a quantum computer. Not true. AES does not suffer from the same weaknesses as many public key schemes. A quantum computer could speed up an attack on AES, but does not fundamentally break it. > Or if there's a new advance in algebraic cryptanalysis. Sure. But my point was that there are much weaker points than the encryption in a communication system.
