Post Quantum Cryptography – Much Ado About… Something? (Q13c)
If stable Qubits can be achieved, then maybe stable quantum computing can be achieved.
If stable quantum computing can be achieved, then maybe large quantum computing arrays can be achieved.
If large quantum computing arrays can be achieved, then maybe RSA keys can be derived.
If RSA keys can be derived, then maybe asymmetric encryption at certain levels can be broken.
If asymmetric encryption at certain levels can be broken, it may be able to be done in a reasonable amount of time.
And if all of this can be done in a reasonable amount of time, we should probably have already done something about it.
Let’s discuss what this actually means, at a pragmatic level. What can we actually do? What should we actually do? When should we do it?
And let’s discuss what data half-life means. In other words, are we already too late?
