Just remember that one time pads are not only one of the simplest encryption schemes they are proven secure in any quantum computing regime. It's a shame about the key transport problem.
One of my favorite sci-fi macguffians, was in the book "Fire upon the deep" where they were space truckers with a cargo of one time pad keys.
- notfed 3y agoThis is also true of most symmetric cryptography algorithms. (Of which one-time pad is one of. So is AES-256. It's more convenient to just use AES-256.) The implied context of "post-quantum cryptography" is usually asymmetric cryptography.
