im honestly not really surprised anymore. i fully expect to see a lot more of these types of bugs in the coming years

Just wait for quantum computers to take off, our current encryption can be broken with them

[–] tblFlip@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

absolutely. a lot of currently in use public key schemes may be broken with those. more recently there have been a few newer algorithm such as kyber that do have a chance to hold. think NIST is also holding a bit of a competition, but dont quote me on that. i really dont know alot about post-quantum crypto
