- nyclounge 2y agoOr whoever that has quantum computer in the near future. Encryption is just a cat and mouse game it is before long someone will figure out to decrypt it.
- foobarchu 2y agoThere is currently no reason to believe quantum computers will make breaking symmetric encryption like AES-256 any more practical than it is today. At best, grovers algorithm can modestly reduce the search time for brute forcing, but it's still brute force. Asymmetric algorithms like RSA are the ones you should be worrying about, and I can't imagine any reason someone would do disk encryption with an asymmetric algorithm.
