Doubts about post-quantum cryptography

A developer building Fortyseal, a post-quantum-native secure communication platform, observes that mainstream tools are not adopting quantum-resistant cryptography despite growing threats from quantum computing. The platform prioritizes "future-proof" design, integrating post-quantum cryptography natively rather than retrofitting it later, a rare approach in current commercial security solutions. The developer questions whether the slow adoption stems from underestimation of quantum risks or the belief that transition isn’t yet urgent, despite NIST’s ongoing standardization efforts. Industry inertia may reflect confidence in classical systems’ short-term viability, but experts warn that "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks could already compromise sensitive data. The post highlights a critical gap between theoretical quantum threats and real-world preparedness, raising concerns about long-term security infrastructure vulnerabilities.
