Encryption question

[garys]

If I hadn't already been retired, I'd have retired at the start of it. I know at least one person who resigned halfway through her shift.

COVID certainly ended a lot of careers and almost killed EMS. It might still.

But, I digress.

Although I'm retired from my newspaper on a pension, I am also a retired RN. Many nurses I know retired at the height of covid if they had their time in. I'm retired from Lower Bucks Hospital on a pension.

Go read what I wrote. I never claimed quantum computing would defeat quantum resistant algorithms. I said it would eventually be able to defeat AES256, which, is what is being used today.

Unless it's just for the sake of academia to crack it or for data miners looking to decrypt stored data, AES256 would most likely be obsolete by then.
