Re: Cue firestorm

Although you can still copy all the current encrypted traffic then use quantum compute to break that stored traffic.

Even if QC creates an unbreakable code, there will be a significant period of migration where existing data is vulnerable.

So designing a standard now to be resilient for the future is actually a really smart thing to do.
