Like so many other things in computer science history, that seems like a great way to make it the de-facto standard.
- Frank2312 10y agoIf Google manages to prove it works and there are no better alternatives later on, then it will probably become the de-facto standard. However, the second condition seems to not be met if Google is right, because they mention there are promising papers published. >Since we selected New Hope, we've noted two promising papers in this space, which are welcome.
- baby 10y agoThere is also the fact that "as of now" efficient quantum computers capable to break our crypto is fiction.
- serendipitous 10y agoYes, but if you want your sessions that are captured today to remain confidential when quantum computers do become reality then you need to use post-quantum key exchange methods today.
