Really cool! I wasn’t even aware of the IQN hub.

Had an little issue with the end of the following statement: “These technologies are immune against future cyber-attacks, even with quantum computers, which – once fully developed – will have the potential to break through even the strongest cryptographic methods currently in use.”

Wish they’d qualify how they think this potential exists. Seems like more than a reach. Is this based on some assumption that quantum can find some mathematical trap door?
