    With Real World Cryptography coming up next week, I wanted to take an opportunity to point out that our current post-quantum cryptographic primitives are not suitable for the web

    Post-quantum cryptography is too damn big.
    Large-scale quantum computers are capable of breaking all of the common forms of asymmetric cryptography used on the Internet today. Luckily, they don’t exist yet. The Internet-wide transition to...

    It is the consensus view that there have been non-public algorithmic advancements in factoring (e.g. by NSA). Given the progress on AI-driven proofs around the strength of lattice cryptography, advancements in factoring should be completely within the realm of possibility.

    If Forbes had a spine, they would have put SBF on the Midas List.
