The encryption-scares don’t really bother me. It’s as if everyone thinks quantum computers will come of age but for some reason quantum encryption won’t equally scale up to match it?
Like, of course current encryption methods are at risk, they aren’t designed to match quantum computing and any that would, while it would be nice if it also performed on current PC’s… it wouldn’t need to in the longrun.
I do agree that the in-between time of “Oh shit, a quantum computer was invented” and “Ta-da! Encryption that chokes QC!” is a bit scary. Here’s hoping most devs take measures and precautions during the first few warning-shot hours lol.
