Security Alert: Migrate to Post-Quantum Cryptography Right Now!

Current cryptographic algorithms will be broken within the next couple of years. The time to migrate to post-quantum cryptography is right now. Ah yes … and while you’re at it, don’t forget about crypto currency.

Migration steps towards post-quantum cryptography:

1. Identify possible technologies
2. Choose algorithms for standardization
3. Standardization (RFCs)
4. Implementation
5. Integration into operating systems

Right now, we are at step 1 and 2.

Update (20.04.2018)
OpenSSH 8.0 supports quantum-computing resistent key exchange method – still experimental though.
