So the issue is that the government made mistakes in their contributions? I feel like that's just standard government incompetence, honestly.
Any post-quantum encryption algorithm is going to be highly scrutinized, so I can't say I'm particularly worried about the theoretical side of it, at least.
The implementation is a whole other story, of course.
Yeah that stuff was way too public for it to be that big of a deal.
Hell, for that matter, The only reason that RSA is relatively weak to quantum is because quantum computers have one neat trick that lines up perfectly with RSAs one neat vulnerability.
I was severely disappointed when I found out how they were actually doing the RSA breaking on quantum.
