I think the best summary until now about Post-quantum cryptography is from Peter Gutmann in the cryptography mailing-list.
Given that after 20 years and hundreds of millions of dollars spent researchers have yet to demonstrate a single legitimate cryptanalysis result using a quantum physics experiment, it's a bit like arguing over which brand of unicorn repellent is the most cromulent.
The current state of things in terms of pure vs. hybrid systems seems to be:
- Governments = Pure: “We’re putting all our eggs in one basket and hoping that the dial stops spinning at ‘not broken’”
- Everyone else = Hybrid: “We trust this new stuff so little that we’re requiring you use the crypto that we claim is broken alongside it”
Peter.

I'm again, in #Warsaw #Poland till the end of December!
Ping me to meet up for a chat if you're into:
- #cryptography
- #FOSS
- #decentralization and #p2p
Etc.
My dream? To create a new democratic web where people are citizens. I also like weird art and weird projects in general.

We are excited to share our latest work on making secure messaging more decentralized!
We've developed DMLS – a new approach that brings fork resilience to the MLS protocol, solving a key challenge in distributed systems while maintaining Forward Secrecy.
This work was made possible by eQualitie, who funded it as part of the SplinterCon Breakout program.

“Mr. Sanborn acknowledged that keeping the secret could be a strain: His computer has been hacked repeatedly over the years, he said, and obsessive fans of the work have threatened him. ‘I sleep with a shotgun,’ he said.”

#Signal’s reliance on #AWS can and should be fixed. I am sure they will do so. I am not willing to throw away world-class, diverse, international expertise in the field of #cryptography and #privacy over a 3-hour outage.
I think it is rather dangerous and counterproductive of folks to be advocating for self-hosting Delta, Matrix, or other platforms when we know, demonstrably so, that it’s incredibly easy to accidentally misconfigure software, the OS they are hosted on, or firewall rules etc.
I see a lot of discussion around @signalapp using #AWS and the recent outage

#Cryptography is hard to do correctly. It’s complex, easy to make mistakes and I am not an expert at these things. I do know that #Signal has been doing this for much longer than myself, with people I trust with a leader like @Mer__edith advocating for peoples privacy above all else, threatening to leave the EU if they pass anti-privacy laws.
