Standard notes' future proofness: Store now, decrypt later & quantum computers (www.youtube.com)

After seeing the video of veritasium on these topics, I wondered how standard notes was prepared for these innovations. - how is store now, decrypt later hindered (if that's possible) - is the current encryption algorithm resilient against quantum computing etc.

Does somebody have some expertise on this? It would also be great of standard notes themself put a blog post or video out on that topic.

I'm way late to this conversation, decided to poke my head in this community and see what was going on.

The answer is yes, standard notes is resistant to this form of attack because it uses symmetric encryption. Quantum computing has the potential to disrupt asymmetric encryption not symmetric encryption.
