If quantum computing can be used to crack codes/passwords, wouldn't the same/similar technology be able to create coding and signature protocols that are on the same level, essentially rendering the existence moot in that regard?
When tech advances, it generally advances across sectors and has a relatively broad range of applications. If QC becomes a thing, I'm sure there will be protocols developed to protect against QC attacks. These advancements usually happen at or around the same time.
Yeah I agree and and I feel we will see it coming. I think the worry that everyone thinks about in their head is that the government will suddenly have the capability and none of us will know and then they will just smash crypto like a roach. So I guess as far as that goes I don't agree with Jerry because he seems to feel that the government already has this capability and they will crush it when they desire.
I think that going forward I'm going to be on the lookout for crypto currencies that are set up from the beginning to protect against quantum attacks even though it is going to be years away.
