Honestly this comes across as paranoid yet defeatist. You don't believe encryption works? Really? All encryption? Do you think cryptography researchers are all in collusion or just inept?
But don't you think quantum computers are mature somewhere by now? If you had one and you had secrets to maintain, would you be the one to spill the beans even if a VIP planning a war? I doubt the news will come as a result of a bank heist or a 51% attack. This is a Jinn that will never go back to the bottle it came from.
RSA was passed on a long time ago and AES is pretty old. I don't think people can really grasp how much progress has been made. Most people I encounter have no idea that video can be completely faked. Recently I heard an old lady explain that video evidence is basically truth. Notice how easy the eyes are fooled.
For those who have ears, may they hear.
Hopefully my parent post doesn't vanish. I realize this is a tough pill to swallow. I am pretty sure we will all have to swallow it soon.
Nope. No I don't. The amount of compute required to actually operate on Shor's algorithm is immense, to the point that it's probably smarter, faster and cheaper to bruteforce with traditional HPC these days.
We'll go back to difficulties in exchanging secrets. But encryption as a whole will still work.
