>From a crackpot way out in left field, quantum physics is a poor attempt to deal with the statistical nature of all our (pseudo-)fundamental particles.
In other words, attempts to produce mathematics to deal with the fact that our fundamental particles are not fundamental after all. (Yeah, including quarks and strings, et. al.) Quantum computing is a statistical technique that tries to take advantage of the structures we can't even see because they are too small (require too much energy to get a grip on with tools we can actually manipulate even indirectly). Quantum computing that actually works will require fundamental changes of nature in our physics, and in us. What we call security won't even be relevant then. That said, our attempts at security need to address statistical methods better. Just a thought from _way_ out in left field. -- Joel Rees http://reiisi.blogspot.jp/p/novels-i-am-writing.html _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
