Lets rephrase it in terms of product-market fit - what problem is post-quantum encryption going to solve for people to put effort into it?
BTW, the term post-quantum encryption is delicious because we had never had the quantum encryption era. Like the post-high speed era rail in the US ;)
- caf 6y agoThe sense this term is using 'quantum' is as a shorthand for a point in time, where attacking cryptosystems using quantum computers becomes feasible. So you can talk ante-quantum and post-quantum in this sense, but it makes little sense to talk about just 'quantum', in exactly the same way that we schedule a lot of things AM and PM but very little for precisely noon.
