You’re he moron who made the broad claim about how easy it is for government to brute force crypto. Of course, since it is nothing but nonsense, you’re not willing to back it up. Of course, I don’t really expect better out of you. I can only hope that everyone else can see through your ignorance.

Quantum computing will create new algorithms that are not crackable by brute force.

You’re missing the point. The gov almost certainly has the ability but they are clearly not sharing that ability to fbi. However it’s only a matter of time.

Yes, but will that encryption be available to the hoi polloi? I kind of doubt it.

If a quantum computer is available, the means to create encryption is available.
