The point is that a lot of secrets need to remain secrets for many years. If some government found a way to break elliptic curve in the same way that the number field seive broke rsa (hence we now need 2048-bit keys rather than 256bit keys we were using in the 90s) we’d be fucked for many years to come as all secrets are leaked. So there may not be quantum computers now. But if there’s going to be in 20years we need our crypto to be resilient now. |
