Yo, Tonight, I got to writing too late to go in-depth so I’m going to use this post to help plan out my writing.Resourcescall to action by NIST https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography NIST summary https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2022/07/nist-announces-first-four-quantum-resistant-cryptographic-algorithms chosen NIST https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/post-quantum-cryptography/selected-algorithms-2022 Really good post summarizing everything https://blog.cloudflare.com/nist-post-quantum-surprise/ Author’s publications https://bas.westerbaan.name/ aes post quantum security https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1208.pdf https://blog.boot.dev/cryptography/is-aes-256-quantum-resistant/ https://thequantuminsider.com/2020/04/30/is-aes-256-quantum-resistant/ grovers https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/6712/is-aes-256-a-post-quantum-secure-cipher-or-not https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.79.325PlanI think I want to go off of Bas Westerbaan’s excellent post and learn about any questions I have. The first question I have is about why is symmetric encryption post-quantum secure (you can see links above). I also am curious about the competition itself.CaveatIt seems like I’m going to have to do A LOT of reading to understand this, which makes it hard to practice writing and explaining in an hour. I will need to play around with my cadence. In my head, I know I’ll need to find extra time to focus and read up. I can make somedays read plus write notes or summary. Another option is to read sometime during the day or evening, write something quick about another topic, and get to writing the post the next day. I definitely want to present the final knowledge is a cohesive, elegant format. I want posts that I can show off and allow for easy learning. It doesn’t have to be every post. I think what I should do is next month I should modify my writing format. Keep a more consistent, laid back posts that aren’t everyday and add a once a week high quality post. I can use the next week or two to plan that out and spend extra time researching. I like this plan. I’ll just have to execute. Sleep tight, Lucas ps Thinking about it more I’d like to do some world building posts. In my head quick posts are:media reviewworld building (new)reflectionswhy topic is importantsimple techresearch
