#QDay, the big, bad day that a #quantum_computer will bust current encryption is almost here. At least the #PQC industry wants you to believe that. They've convinced a few heavy hitter publications, too. But it really doesn't look like it's going to happen, simply because current cyber capabilities can already break modern #encryption . Why spend a trillion dollars on a quantum computer when what we have is already breakable? https://cyberprotection-magazine.com/q-day-isnt-as-dangerous-as-our-government?swcfpc=1

@darkuncle I like that phrase, "attacks always get better, they never get worse"

Can I propose an alternative? Do not look for quantum-resistant encryption. Rather replace the entire existing public-key-private key cryptography with something entirely new. If possible something based on quantum computing principles.

@darkuncle Does that improve the chances of us see a practical quantum computer soon?
