Just wait for quantum computers to take off, our current encryption can be broken with them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

absolutely. a lot of currently in use public key schemes may be broken with those. more recently there have been a few newer algorithm such as kyber that do have a chance to hold. think NIST is also holding a bit of a competition, but dont quote me on that. i really dont know alot about post-quantum crypto
