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?"

  1. I use analingus-based key exchange by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    It happened when I was 19, a guy I met a guy in my College library took to his dorm and turned me around having pulled pants down. I figured he wanted to eat me doggystyle, when he stuck his tongue up my anus...

    7 years later and more than 30 partners of all shades; half of whom have performed analingus on me, has me thinking its perhaps the new cunnilingus and 10 years time it will be part of foreplay.

    PS: I return the favour.

    Your thoughts.

      I enjoyed your story quite a bit. I too enjoy performing analingus on my girlfriend from time to time.

      My question is for you:
      do you prefer giving analingus

      -or-

      Sex with a mare

      ?

    Well the person is an idiot. His estimation of 20 years is laughably naive.
