There's a good point in GP's post though. The thing is, one day quantum computers WILL BE available to the NSA or whatever. And they also have the means to record all encrypted transmissions (and they probably do). So one day, the NSA will be able to crack those transmissions that are using pre-quantum algorithms.
Using post-quantum algorithms ASAP would at least make sure that from this point on, we're "safe" from quantum computers making a sudden appearance tomorrow.
- johncolanduoni 10y agoI don't contest that at all, I'm very much in the "let's have post-quantum redundancies here yesterday" camp. I just found it hard to believe (though I was quite entertained by the conjecture) that the people I know in QI are either NSA impostors or stupid enough to fall for NSA impostors of their colleagues.
