How future-proof is encryption? What about quantum computers?
We rely on proven AES 256-bit encryption in the highly secure GCM mode.
The AES-256-GCM scheme aligns with current recommendations by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Thanks to its 256-bit key length, AES is considered highly secure even against future quantum attacks ("Quantum Security Analysis of AES"). While asymmetric encryption methods (e.g. RSA) are vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm, Grover’s algorithm only provides a quadratic speed-up in brute-force attacks on symmetric schemes like AES-256. This means that 256-bit keys remain extremely robust even in post-quantum scenarios.
Our end-to-end encryption ensures your data remains reliably protected in the long term.
