However, if your communication lines are bugged the attacker already has the data encrypted with the old key. This is only valid if cold storage data is at risk. In such cases an encrypted disk using some symmetric algorithm that is likely not vulnerable to quantum computers is a safer option. -- ir. J.C.A.
