Today, if I understand it correctly, that means the encryption can't be broken on a computer with resources < whatever is required to calculate the square root of 16 ;)
- Ar-Curunir 4y agoSomething is obviously not quantum-secure if it's broken on a classical computer. FHE schemes in particular are instantiated with schemes that are believed to offer both classical security and post-quantum security.
- jgaa 4y agoIt was a joke, built on some comments on a recent Security Now podcast, where they made fun of Quantum computing's current inability to compute the simplest things accurately, and the possibility that Quantum computing never will evolve into something that can surpass legacy computers.
