[cryptography] Do quantum attacks/algos also lead to compromise of PFS?

2015-01-24 Thread Greg
So, I understand that QM algos can pretty much dismantle all popular asymmetric encryption algos with enough q-bits, but I haven't thought hard enough to see if they also can be used to compromise communications that used DH to do PFS underneath the initial handshake. Side question: is this

Thanks Natanael! What I'm gathering from here and [messaging] is that yes, OTR doesn't seem seem to be future-secure, and PFS isn't perfect (with the way it's usually implemented today), *but* there do seem to be possible solutions to this problem, if we can trust what the math/physics folks
