This is way more of a self-promo blog post than an article, but it’s also along the lines of Signal or Apple announcing their own successes in cryptography.
BTW, this was my favorite part of the post
Why encryption is even allowed?
They’re not wrong, either.
I also appreciate their clarification that post-quantum encryption is a guess, not a sure thing. Actually, they’re much more blunt than that:
post-quantum cryptography can be compared with a remedy against the illness that nobody has, without any guarantee that it will work. The closest analogy in the history of medicine is snake oil.
Good on them for saying that.
But then on expounding with minimal jargon… At least, as far as explaining cryptography can be done that way.
Thanks for highlighting that part of history.
The guy literally printed the algorithm in a book to show that the first amendment protects encryption math. Luckily the justices at the time were definitely pro first amendment. Unlucky that they used first amendment to justify citizens United
