Comment on Quantum Attacks on encryption will probably be feasible by 2030

This is a great talk, but it’s ignoring the real issue in that it would need to be “on-line”, which is not anywhere near possible. They sort of address that, but are talking about the cyphers themselves mostly.
I think we’ve reached the cusp where we can exchange new derivative keys on the fly per request without making too much of a dent in speed, but that comes with all kinds of tradeoffs on session length and convenience I suppose.

There are now quantum resistant algorithms, with the hope being that even advanced quantum computers wouldn’t be able to crack it in a time that different from regular computers. I think I was reading that it’s already a part of release wireguard?

Resistant, but not guaranteed. Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to encryption.
