Nov 4, 2020 at 8:42 comment added Maarten Bodewes Note that these kind of dupes are great end points for search engines to look up the dupes. As such they have a function of their own, even if other Q/A's are dupes. This would be lost when questions are merged; merging is hard if the questions are asked differently.

Sep 11, 2018 at 9:59 comment added forest @fgrieu You're right. I should have said that current public key cryptography will not survive.

Sep 11, 2018 at 9:56 comment added fgrieu @forest: Your summary is way too radical for me. While RSA, and Discrete-Logarithm-based ECC public key cryptographic schemes (including ECDH, ECDSA, EdDSA) would not survive large general-purpose quantum computers, 1) such computers are hypothetical, thus these schemes might well turn out to survive all quantum computers that humanity will build 2) other public-key cryptographic schemes (including some ECC-based, e.g. SIKE), are conjectured to resist even hypothetical large general-purpose quantum computers.

Sep 11, 2018 at 9:34 comment added forest I believe this has been answered in various questions here already. The gist of the answer is that public key cryptography like RSA and ECC will not survive, whereas symmetric cryptography like AES and SHA-256 will survive simply by doubling their key lengths.
