One can be paranoid in a completely different direction, like “any quantum computer can’t survive long enough to perform any useful computation because objective collapse theories are right, the whole post-quantum cryptography exists to push implementations with backdoors injected by government”.
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoI have this type of tinfoil hat. I put it on whenever I see people blindly merging security fixes in response to vulnerability scans.
- KMag 3y agoWe're likely to see hybrid PQ + ECDH key exchange for the foreseeable future, running the pair of exchanged values through a hash-based key derivation function. Partially due to fears of backdoors, but also out of caution because the mathematics of PQ cryptography has seen much less attention than DH / ECDH / RSA cryptography. For a long time, there was similar conservative skepticism regarding ECDH.
