| Jan 9, 2021 at 10:45 | comment | added | toolforger | @J... I doubt that qbits will ever go through the normal Internet: Transferring them will impose extra constraints on the hardware (phase preservation at least), so it will be more expensive. But post-quantum crypto will happen, and in time before quantum computers become a commodity, so it's not necessary to make the Internet qbit-friendly. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 20:31 | comment | added | J... | @CaptainEmacs There will most likely be a protracted period of time in the future where quantum computers will be available to anyone who wants one but before we have the technology required for a quantum internet that can transmit qubits between systems secured using quantum cryptography. This requires cryptographic algorithms that can be used by classical computers over the classical internet but which cannot be broken even by a quantum computer. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 16:26 | comment | added | user151413 | @CaptainEmacs In essense, cryptography which (hopefully) cannot be broken by a quantum computer. | |

| Jan 8, 2021 at 15:18 | comment | added | Captain Emacs | @user151413 "post-quantum-crypto" - I am not a crypto expert, and have missed that. It sounds interesting, any reference? | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 9:47 | comment | added | mmmmmm | An obvious example is the RSA algorithm the academic paper was in 1977. GCHQ had discovered this several years before en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Cocks | |
| Jan 7, 2021 at 20:01 | comment | added | user151413 | @Captain If the NSA knows how to break RSA, lattice-based crypto, or whatever else, they for sure are using safe methods since a long time. (Well, even if not, they probably are.) In fact, post-quantum-crypto techniques are available, so everyone should use them. | |
| Jan 7, 2021 at 19:59 | comment | added | Captain Emacs | If OP breaks crypto, that's the one believable real-life scenario for a Jason Bourne-type person-hunt. Many people will want to keep that secret. And, to be honest, with good reason. It is still going to be some time before quantum crypto is going to replace the classical one. What shall we do when all payment over internet has ceased to be safe in one go? Return to the early 90s? | |
