Re: Post Quantum Security
Isn't this just another massive scaling up of the trust problem?
i.e. the number of people who actually understand this stuff enough to have a valid opinion on it is vastly smaller than for conventional encryption and the level of trust we will need to have in those people will be higher too. ..... AdamT
No, AdamT, it is not.
The very few who know anything at all valid on what this stuff can, and therefore invariably will do, at any time of its choosing, convenient or otherwise, care not a jot for any wider popular trust for such is not needed for that which can be done and revealed/uncovered/discovered with a practical universal immunity and virtually remote impunity.
I trust that is not in any way ambiguous nor difficult to fully understand.
As I’m sure all can appreciate, and especially so those active with commentary and opinion here on El Reg, does such make secure Quantum Communication Control of Systems something of a Fundamental Elemental Holy Grail Development, and whether one would like it classed or classified as a Novel Private Invention or a Noble Pirate Discovery or a Popular NEUKlearer WMD also matters not a jot either to the few who know enough about this stuff to have everybody else understandably extremely worried and/or terrifyingly excited and petrified with doubt in unsure disbelief. That is only natural, and they certainly should be.
