Misconceptions

  1. All encryption is at risk from quantum computers.

A: Only quantum unsafe algorithms are at risk being broken by quantum computers. Algorithms that are quantum safe may still be affected. For example, AES security may be halved by quantum computers.

  1. We can just switch to post-quantum algorithms when quantum computers arrive.

A: As described in the Bitcoin - Introduction there is such thing as migration time, which makes this statement false.

  1. Quantum computers are still decades away.

A: TODO

  1. Quantum-safe algorithms are just around the corner.

A: TODO
