People have been working on this for years, and they're making good progress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography Notably, Google has even experimentally deployed a PQ ciphersuite in Chrome (that uses elliptic-curve cryptography in parallel with Alkim et al.'s "new hope" algorithm). https://security.googleblog.com/2016/07/experimenting-with-post-quantum.html If this works well and research continues to support this approach, it should be standardized as a ciphersuite in TLS. -- Seth Schoen <sch...@eff.org> Senior Staff Technologist https://www.eff.org/ Electronic Frontier Foundation https://www.eff.org/join 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA 94109 +1 415 436 9333 x107 -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
