Why we built QEncrypt to be quantum-resistant, even though quantum computers can't break anything yet

Most encryption in use today (RSA, ECC, etc.) is secure against classical computers, but not against a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. Those don't exist yet at the scale needed to break real-world encryption, but that's not actually the risk window that matters.
The risk is "harvest now, decrypt later." Encrypted data being intercepted and stored today can simply sit there until quantum computing catches up, then get decrypted retroactively. For anything with a long shelf life- financial records, medical data, legal documents, personal files- "encrypted today" doesn't mean "safe in 10 years" unless the encryption itself is built to resist that future threat.
That's the problem QEncrypt is built around: quantum-resistant encryption algorithms designed to hold up against both classical and quantum attacks, so data encrypted now doesn't have an expiration date on its security.
We're not going to pretend this is the only quantum-resistant tool out there; NIST has been standardizing post-quantum cryptography algorithms for a few years now, and more tools are adopting them. Genuinely happy to answer questions about how QEncrypt's approach works, what it does and doesn't protect against, or how it compares to what else is out there. Ask away.
