Ask Slashdot: Post-Quantum Asymmetric Key Exchange?

First time accepted submitter LeDopore writes "Quantum computers might be coming. I'd estimate that there's a 10% chance RSA will be useless within 20 years. Whatever the odds, some of the data we send over ssh and ssl today should remain private for a century, and we simply can't guarantee secrecy anymore using the algorithms with which we have become complacent. Are there any alternatives to RSA and ECC that are trustworthy and properly implemented? Why is everyone still happy with SSH and RSA with the specter of a quantum menace lurking just around the corner?"

Gee, you guys are getting me all misty eyed for the old slashdot.

Browsing at -1 used to be such fun here, but kudos to Taco he really killed the fun off.

Now I'm going to go drink a bottle of whisky and jerk off my cat.
