It's interesting to imagine what connected planet with no reliable encryption would be like. Although I guess we can always fall back on one-time pads.

- darawk 9y agoQuantum computers don't break all encryption. There's no risk of that, fortunately.
- jayess 9y agoPlease expand on that. What encryption is vulnerable and what isn't?
- mickronome 9y agoI don't know a lot about it, only just enough to know what search term to look for, and Wikipedia had an article that probably fits the bill: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography

- Zaak 9y agoSymmetric encryption will need to double key lengths, such as using 256-bit AES keys instead of 128-bit. All currently popular forms of asymmetric / public key encryption (including RSA and ECC) are vulnerable to quantum attack.
