People working on post-quantum-proofing vulnerable encryption protocols (and curious onlookers) can find lots of value in this new post from Cloudflare. It discusses the herculean engineering challenges of revamping anonymous credentials that will be broken by a quantum computer. There's a growing need for this kind of privacy (for instance to make digital drivers licenses privacy preserving), which allows individuals to prove specific facts, like they have had a drivers license for more than 3 years, without divulging personal information like their birthday or place of birth. The long and short of of the challeng is that engineers can't simply drop quantum-resistant algorithms into AC protocols that currently use vulnerable ones. Instead, engineers will need to collaborate with standards bodies that build entirely new protocols, largely from scratch. The post goes on to name a few of the most promising approaches.https://blog.cloudflare.com/pq-anonymous-credentials/

@dangoodin And these new systems will be requiring us to keep track of data we've never kept; ok knowing I've had a DL for 3 years is easy; unless it's been only slightly less; how, or why ? would I keep a record of such a minor transaction? Or past addresses -- I know some, but not all. Now they I'm old I've stopped moving around; but again, I've never kept dossier on myself.Humans are not made of data. This kind of stuff seems to never be considered when making up these schemes.

Also, engineers who work on solving these sorts of problems: Cloudflare has 1,100 open intern slots (not sure why these positions would be intern, but there you are).
