   Yea ... but gotta DO them, STANDARDIZE/CERTIFY/DEPLOY them .....

   Ain't seen THAT yet.

   And "a few years" may not be soon ENOUGH.

   There are 'intermediate fixes' ... just ASSUME https is
   NOT gonna be totally secure and never transmit files
   or bits thereof in the clear assuming https is gonna
   take care of things. Final decryption would have to
   be shifted to LOCAL PCs. When you look at ANY bits of
   a database - yer account/login stuff at Google for
   instance - using a browser it would only SEEM to be
   clear text ... but instead go thru an additional
   symmetric decryption step on yer PC.

   Quantum-resistant https/TLS is badly needed now, but
   WHEN will we see it ??? When is there 'httpq' ???

   See what I'm aiming at ?
