RSA 256 is very much not quantum proof #3

@p0syd0n thats rather misleading

p0syd0n commented 1 week ago

Yes, there are no assymetric encryption schemas that are quantum proof and useable on the browser side unfortunately. However, the AES 256 aspect is quantum proof, and the AES 256 blanket encrypts most of the data in the database on top of the RSA.

Ah that makes more sense. It might be good to state that on the README. Also AES 255 isnt quantum proof only quantum resistant. This study for example was able to reduce a AES-256 attack to 7 rounds which while it would still take some time to break it isn’t unbreakable.

Fair enough. I will improve the wording. I feel like for the time being, it is practically unbreakable, unless something new comes out - it would still take an unfeasable amount of time to break it.
