I can see a use case you seem to have neglected. Any recorded/logged data which is not encrypted with QRC can be decrypted when a quantum computer with sufficient capacities is built. Its actions will be retroactive as well as current to its time. That's kind of what the whole dragnet strategy hinges on. One should worry for a future where the past affects the present. - Leon _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
