What’s the consensus about Proton in here?
I use it. It’s fine. Any paid email provider is fine really.
I’m staying a free user though because I don’t want to get my account deleted if I fail to pay for 6 months due to being in a coma or ICE detention or wrongfully arrested or rightfully arrested.
That’s positive indeed. After Signal, maybe it’s time we all add PQC to our ssh, HTTPS, etc.
In fact if you are wondering OpenSSL supports PQC since 3.5 the current LTS and Debian stable relies on it https://packages.debian.org/stable/openssl
So… you might already be PQC-ready. In fact if you also run Debian on your server (or its exposed containers) maybe you connected over HTTPS already in a PQC-ready compliant fashion.
We’re still pretending like quantum computing is anywhere near functional?
The US government is saving copies of tonnes of VPN traffic so they can eventually decrypt it once quantum computers are developed. Anything sent without post-quantum cryptography now will be accessible to the US government once quantum computers are in operation.
maybe you don’t know but it’s not enough to start working on a solution when traditional cryptography has already failed. you have to start much much earlier, to have a solution much earlier. because most things encrypted one way will not be re-encrypted with new tech later, for various reasons.
