It would be useful in discussions on quantum computing and cryptography not to 
miss that vulnerability (if and to the extent it exists) only pertains to the 
asymmetric algorithms. As far as we know, no modern symmetric block  cipher is 
affected.

I was under the impression that for any generic symmetric cipher, Grover's
algorithm would halve the strength in bit, for example a 128 bit key would
be as weak against Quantum computers as a current 64 bit key
against normal computers.

Enjoy
