@SteveBellovin @lanodan @feld @cendyne @drwho, I agree that the issue about recorded traffic. But QC isn’t the only thing to worry about with a 30 year horizon.
I fully advocate intensive research in PQC. And QC isn’t the only reason to want to ditch crypto now harder than discreet log and factoring problems. But I feel like we are still learning things “too fast” to actually standardize.
The best argument for standardizing I’ve heard is that we are learning things so fast because we are trying to adopt standards.
