In point of fact, we don't know this. Theoretically, science-fiction level breakthroughs in quantum computation would break RSA. But the problem with theory is some of the things that theory permits turn out to be impossible in reality. For instance, there's nothing in the laws of physics that prohibit things from having negative mass, but we've never encountered negative-mass material anywhere: not in the lab, not in the world, not in deep space, not anywhere. It's good to be skeptical of quantum computation. It's interesting to read up on, but be immensely skeptical of all predictions. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
