There are also new types of public-key encryption out there than haven't made the mainstream yet because we don't need them.

Symmetric key encryption is not subject to the same level of degradation at the hands of quantum computing as asymmetric key encryption. I believe the most a quantum computer can do is reduce the crack time linearly rather than exponentially. Double your key size and you've accounted for the gain that quantum computing brings.

I may be incorrect here or there, but the summary is that quantum computing isn't going to break tomorrow's encryption, only yesterday's and some of today's.]]>Aug 18th 2007 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/researchers-using-pulses-of-light-to-quickly-decipher-codes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/researchers-using-pulses-of-light-to-quickly-decipher-codes/
While I understand nothing of encryption, this phrase has my vote as the college recruiting phrase of choice.]]>Aug 18th 2007 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/researchers-using-pulses-of-light-to-quickly-decipher-codes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/researchers-using-pulses-of-light-to-quickly-decipher-codes/but will it blend?]]>Aug 18th 2007 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/researchers-using-pulses-of-light-to-quickly-decipher-codes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/researchers-using-pulses-of-light-to-quickly-decipher-codes/Aug 19th 2007 11:22PM
