Quantum Computing Not an Imminent Threat To Public Encryption 119
Bruce Schneier's latest blog entry points out an interesting analysis of how quantum computing will affect public encryption. The author takes a look at some of the mathematics involved with using a quantum computer to run a factoring algorithm, and makes some reasonable assumptions about the technological constraints faced by the developers of the technology. He concludes that while quantum computing could be a threat to modern encryption, it is not the dire emergency some researchers suggest.

The best encryption is disconnection. Its unbreakable even by quantum computers to the nth power.
the next best is perhaps a sequence of seemingly unrelated actions followed by a false positive... or other such use of seemingly unrelated data/actions.
A few might remember the seemingly different things you could do to cause a developer hidden message to come up on the Amiga.
