Okay, clarification:
I am not a programmer.
I suggest that the crypto, which is encapsulated in the Freenet core layer
("fred"),
gets replaced with PQ Crypto algorithms by https://pqcrypto.org/ , just as TOR
is
doing the same by version 0.2.9.x , because fully functional quantum computers
will lever out all classical crypto and are expected to be invented in the next
couple
of years.
Greetings,
Torben Lechner
