gollark: Well, quantum computers can factor primes faster than classical ones...
gollark: But I don't want to be turned into paperclips!
gollark: Quantum computers only make some operations faster. They can't just do anything really fast.
gollark: Secondly, symmetric encryption is not, as far as I know, affected much, except that it's slightly less horrendously impractical to brute force due to Grover's algorithm or something.
gollark: Firstly, there are already quantum-computing-resistant asymmetric cryptographic algorithms... I'm not sure about wide use, but *existent*, and they run on classical computers.
