Today, most online cryptography relies on RSA or elliptic curve algorithms, which could be broken easily by a large enough quantum computer. To prevent that, we need post-quantum cryptography. Every computer, laptop, smartphone, self-driving car, or IoT device will have to fundamentally change the way they run cryptography.

Will we be able to implement post-quantum cryptography in time?
The quantum level is the smallest level possible, how the fuck can there be a post anything regarding it?
With all the governments wanting to build in backdoors, who will care in a decade? And if they can’t manage that, encryption will be outlawed, both symmetric and asymmetric.
Instead of worrying about the rollout of PQC, worry about getting our governments back in line…
