Quantum frontiers may be closer than they appear

An overview of how Google is accelerating its timeline for post-quantum cryptography migration.

@sophieschmieg this is more ginning up the quantum grift as fast as they possibly can, seeing that the AI bubble is about to pop.
(The possibility of a real quantum system with any hope of repeatedly cracking RSA4096 or better in a reasonable time span by 2029 remains approximately nil.)
@rootwyrm to be honest, I think q-day, and quantum panic in general, is a real good opportunity to inventory cryptographic assets and make sure that everything is up to date.

If a CRQC (cryptographically relevant quantum computer) will ever exist, is secondary. I know big companies who still use default algs 3DES and RC2 for #pkcs12 because it's default in bouncy castle.

@i @sophieschmieg @rootwyrm ISO/IEC 27002:2022 had a chance to include not only key management but also cryptographic agility in 8.24, and then just... didn't. ISO disappoints once again.
@stiiin I can imagine that crypto agility an unfulfillable requirement for many companies. Especially if you are implementing protocols that don’t cater for crypto agility.
