Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I thought we already had post quantum encryption, or at least that's what some articles I read claimed

Please elaborate. I'm def not up on the cutting edge of encryption. And I'd like to know more.

it means cryptography with algorithms that will be resistant to quantum computers that are any good

Thank you, I understand the goal in a broader sense, and definition. Are you aware of any methods, for instance, that Zoom, or anyone else, could actually be rolling out at this time?

This was back in 2022: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/why-google-now-uses-post-quantum-cryptography-for-internal-comms

But from what I understand Google claims to have rolled out an algorithm to Chrome users, I can't find the original article which lead to my first response to you, but this seems not too far from it

I saw that article when I searched DDG. Thanks, I'll give it a look. :-)
