Why we cannot wait for better post-quantum signature algorithms
<p>RSA and ECC, cryptographic algorithms that we’ve all relied on for decades, are <a href="https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-quantum-menace/"><u>vulnerable</u></a> to the attack of sufficiently advanced quantum computers. Such quantum computers do not exist yet, but they seem to be coming <a href="https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=9718"><u>sooner</u></a> than expected. Luckily, the solution is already
