May 6, 2010 at 6:18 comment added William Whyte If quantum computers are developed, the effective keylength of symmetric ciphers will be halved. So a 256-bit AES key will give the same security as a 128-bit AES key does today. It's still secure, but systems that only use 128-bit AES will have to be changed.
