Tuta already had it i believe, and now proton too, lets goo!!
We’re still pretending like quantum computing is anywhere near functional?
maybe you don't know but it's not enough to start working on a solution when traditional cryptography has already failed. you have to start much much earlier, to have a solution much earlier. because most things encrypted one way will not be re-encrypted with new tech later, for various reasons.
While A and B are having fun, C whines in the back for no good reason.
That's positive indeed. After Signal, maybe it's time we all add PQC to our ssh, HTTPS, etc.
In fact if you are wondering OpenSSL supports PQC since 3.5 the current LTS and Debian stable relies on it https://packages.debian.org/stable/openssl
So... you might already be PQC-ready. In fact if you also run Debian on your server (or its exposed containers) maybe you connected over HTTPS already in a PQC-ready compliant fashion.
Finally, some good news from proton.
Seems good 🙌
