If this will be one of the most powerful encryption-cracking facility in the world, can we just set our key strength based on it's computing power? So if they end up being able to crack 1024 bit keys, can we just set our keys to 2048 and be ok? And then when they upgrade, everyone goes to 4096?
I'm not a security expert (obviously), so maybe I'm wrong, but in general I don't see how they'll be able to build new monster computing facilities as fast as consumer hardware can be upgraded to use slightly stronger encryption.
