So, can it crack public keys?
Almost certainly not yet. But sooner than I'd like. There's a ton of encrypted comms that have been vacuumed up by state and private actors who are just waiting for quantum computers to get good enough to crack them.
And if it can, are there any cipher suites that are quantom-proof?
maybe real short ones : )
