Does Locker use a Quantum Safe Encryption algorithm? #31

I know this is not a critical thing, but Quantum computers may be a thing soon enough to be a real concern in a few years. For context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography |

Hey @MikeVelazcoMtz, At the moment, our system does not implement dedicated post-quantum (quantum-resistant) cryptographic algorithms. However, we use industry-standard AES-256 encryption, which remains highly secure even in the context of emerging quantum threats. While quantum computers could theoretically reduce the effective strength of symmetric encryption (like AES-256), it would still provide a very strong security level (comparable to AES-128 today), which is considered secure by current standards and widely trusted across the industry. We are actively monitoring developments in post-quantum cryptography and evaluating integration paths to ensure our platform remains secure in the long term. |
