"NIST Identifies 4 Quantum-Resistant Encryption Algorithms The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced the first series of quantum-resistant computer algorithms, a major development to secure digital information in a post-quantum world. Announced on Tuesday, NIST officials identified four encryption tools specifically designed to withstand future hacking by a quantum machine... 'The first four algorithms NIST has announced for post-quantum cryptography are based on structured lattices and hash functions, two families of math problems that could resist a quantum computer's assault...'..." https://www.nextgov.com/cybersecuri...antum-resistant-encryption-algorithms/368954/
Not if you learn to self scramble personal code into not the easy to unravel method but in SHAPES! Those common everyday coded systems are already to an extent long compromised or will be, quantum might find those but not the novel exotic types. The thing is who bothers to want to go to that trouble when you can use a Unix, Micro coded system etc thinking that's enough. Creative HUMAN thinking can eventually out do any machine if the ambition is there.
"Supposedly Quantum-Proof Encryption Cracked by Basic PC In a paper published over the weekend, researchers demonstrated that a PC with a single-core processor (weaker than a decent laptop) could break a 'post-quantum' algorithm that had been a contender to be the gold standard for encryption in just one hour... NIST selected four encryption algorithms that it said would provide adequate protections...After the four finalists were selected, NIST announced another four that were being considered as other potential candidates for standardization... Unfortunately, one of those additional four algos doesn’t seem so sturdy. SIKE—which stands for Supersingular Isogeny Key Encapsulation—was one of NIST’s secondary finalists, but a recently discovered cyberattack managed to break SIKE relatively easily..." https://gizmodo.com/quantum-encryption-algorithm-nist-broken-single-core-pc-1849360898
Broken in just one hour AND even with a single-core CPU instead of a supercomputer or cloud cluster. I'd say relatively easy broken is an understatement As quoted by Arstechnica article: https://arstechnica.com/information...yption-contender-is-koed-in-nist-smackdown/2/ Maybe there needs to be more scrutiny before an algorithm is accepted as a new standard..
