You can say it even louder, but I fear people won't hear.
I heard it almost a half year ago, but the real news that Quantum Cryptography "can" be broken is a lot older.
Adding more randomness doesn't add more security, but just another shadow layer.
We know SSL and TLS are broken as well as the Certificate Authorities have been invaded long time ago, even if most people don't accept the truth yet.
Could happen in your Startup too:
a: Let's use SSL!
b: Why?
a: Because people trust us more then.
b: Isn't that a lie? I mean SSL isn't secure.
a: But it works! People believe it, when we believe it.
"c: Live in your Dreamworld, until it collapses! :( Sad."
RSA/DSA/MD5 and other hashing and encryption algorithms are broken or unreliable. We know that increasing the time needed to crack something doesn't make it more secure, but obscures security and reliance on that technology.
You still see large scale websites getting hacked, just because of stupid code injections or exploits. The experience is even worse in the crypto side, you'd cry, if you knew how bad the situation actually is.
One thought. Develop your own, if you can. But that puts you into the radar of Curious Goverments.

- scarmig 15y ago"One thought. Develop your own, if you can. But that puts you into the radar of Curious Goverments." I know this tone is discouraged on Hacker News, but if anything deserves it, this does. You have no clue what you're saying. I know shit all about cryptography, but knowing shit all is a far cry better than thinking it's even remotely possible to be secure when you design your own crypto-sytem. That doesn't put you on the radar of Curious Governments. It puts you in the sight of script-kiddies.
