Even in a world where quantum computers are a risk that we need to consider in our crypto, QKD will still remain a niche. So to go back to the original question, NTRU+BLISS are a possible solution if we care about this problem. QKD is not. Thanks, Yaron On 08/24/2015 06:36 PM, Paul W

Hi Scott, an NTRU Encryption-based IKEv2 key exchange is actually what the strongSwan open source VPN software has been offering with the ntru plugin for more than a year: https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/NTRU For the four security strengths of 112, 128, 192 and 256 bits st

We should ask the NSA authors or their proxies before we do anything. Heck, maybe some NSA folks might even want to contribute to such an extension to IKEv2. We are in absolutely no rush, given how long it will be before serious researchers think there are practical quantum computers. --Paul
