because no one thinks there is a reason to, no one has any fear that classical computers will catch up with RSA-2048/AES-128 before their grand children are dead.
post-quantum crypt stuff is happening and people are planning how to migrate to it.

- kbolino 2y agoWhat is your definition of cracked? Collisions are easy to produce; there's one right on the Wikipedia page.
