Ars Technica: The cryptopocalypse is nigh! NIST rolls out new encryption standards to prepare

[professor rat]

Fake news from a fake anarchist.  There is already quantum encryption that's 
expensive now but prices will fall with wider adoption.  There are also forms 
of encryption not subject to these tiresome beat-up bullshit journalist stories.

Conde Nast are a well-known fraud on the public and Jim Bell should be better 
known as one now especially since his perversions of the last few years - 
Prague - Anarchopulco - list spam for the Lunar Right.

Fuck off Bell - you're not a crypto-anarchists arsehole.  GO DIE!

In the not-too-distant future—as little as a decade, perhaps, nobody knows 
exactly how long—the cryptography protecting your bank transactions, chat 
messages, and medical records from prying eyes is going to break spectacularly 
with the advent of quantum computing. On Tuesday, a US government agency named 
four replacement encryption schemes to head off this cryptopocalypse.

Some of the most widely used public-key encryption systems—including those 
using the RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman 
algorithms—rely on mathematics to protect sensitive data. These mathematical 
problems include (1) factoring a key's large composite number (usually denoted 
as N) to derive its two factors (usually denoted as P and Q) and (2) computing 
the discrete logarithm that key is based on.
