Summary0007003: Post-Quantum Cryptography
DescriptionHello.
Do you have any plans to update(replace) current GNUNet's crypto algorithms to post-quantum cryptographic algorithms?

(https://www.whonix.org/wiki/PQCrypto)
"In ~10 years Quantum Computers will break todays common asymmetric public-key cryptography algorithms used for web encryption (https), e-mail encryption (gnupg...), ssh and others. "

No current plans. Currently, PQ-crypto is way too expensive, experimental and general quantum computers of sufficient size that we'd worry do not exist. But if that changes, we may reconsider. But I suspect at that point it'll simply be better to turn off this Internet entirely.
