@WinstonSmith@techhub.social @tc Hopefully the companies are re-encrypting as well. I guess this is the big issue with companies: this won't happen fast if there is not some kind of -- lets call it -- #cryptoagility setup. And the appropriate #architecture to support this.

If not, it can talk years before an alternative storage encryption is setup up. I have seen this where a replacement of a DMS took almost 5 years.

The threat: #QuantumComputer, the solution: #PQC by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

"In 2019, a team of researchers factored a 795-bit RSA key, making it the biggest key size ever to be solved." and "The researchers estimated that the sum of the computation time for both of the new records was about 4,000 core-years using Intel Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs (running at 2.1 GHz)."

Still some way to go but it is time to start to experiment with new algorithms and to get the hands dirty with #pqc. Expertise in #cryptoagility won't come over night. Changing systems will take years.

"Governments need to invest in cybersecurity that can defend against the future threat of bad actors using quantum computers that are exponentially faster than ordinary machines, a cryptography expert said."
