Still in Ch. 5, in only a few pages we have gone through "live information", the origin of human language, and end with a few paragraphs on #QuantumComputers that are, um, yeah, #OhThatsNotRight.

Breakthrough in experimental light-powered quantum computers could mean scaling them up is now far more viable

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough by "distilling" light to eliminate the noise that prevents photonic quantum computers from scaling.

In a first, a ransomware family is confirmed to be quantum-safe

Technically speaking, there's no practical benefit to use PQC. So why is it being used?

It has been in the news lately that quantum computers might break asymmetric encryption much sooner an easier than previously thought.

Passkeys has been recommended for a while now instead of passwords, but does this not change that?

If I'm using a randomly generated password with 256+ bits of entropy, would that not be more sure than a passkey?
(I'm not taking into account that passkeys has other advantages like that they can't be grabbed in a phishing attack).

📌 April-26:

The official bets are in: #Lattices vs #X25519 the #cryptographers 📈 #polymarket is open.

👉 My money would be on team @djb and @matthew_d_green

Any new #postquantum hard assumption will fail before #quantumcomputers deliver.

If @filippo pq apocalyptic timeframe is correct, only expensive, well understood, hash tree based signatures like #SPHINCS will save our ass (again).

GitHub - FiloSottile/ecc-vs-lattices-long-bet: A long bet between Matthew Green and Filippo Valsorda on what will break first: ML-KEM-768 or X25519. You can join! Money goes to charity.
