Encryption

“You know, 20, 2020, 32, 20, 33, when we solve, you know, things like encryption, right, you know, where, you know, he'll have the fundamental Q day, you know, kind of implications.”

“I think crypto is the most obvious honeypot in a world where you can defeat encryption.”

“When quantum comes about, it'll break every key, which is true. It will break every key that is there today.”

“Look, we'll have to figure that out because that'll be an issue once we get to what is, you know, somewhere maybe minimum 2000 or 5000 logical quantum bits, qubits. So that's at 2000 to 5000 or more is when you get into the encryption issues. I'd call it a 150…”

“AI won't, but quantum will.”

“The network, you have a third thing you don't steal because the network won't let you. Either you'll get canceled by the social network, or you will not be able to take it because the encryption prevents you.”

“Probably a decade or less.”

“There is no theory of what that would be, like, a secure encryption means no one can read it, but the police can read it, ok so it's not secure.”

“Far too often, not so much recently, but particularly, you know, until a few years ago, the argument from technology would not, technology companies would not be, no, this is the only way we can stop China from reading your emails, or the only way that we can …”

“Like, I wouldn't be surprised if we head into another era similar to the nineties where there's real battle. I mean, we see with Apple and the FBI and things like this, just like encryption in general.”

“And the big reason for that transition is that it turns out in that two-point system between the web server and the web browser, that web server became the center of our economy, and encryption is, became necessary for business purposes.”

“This is coming. There's no way to avoid it. But I find it really hard to believe it's not coming in a way that's a very focused legal issue, like the FBI San Bernardino case, or like the, you know, Alexa murder case, and that's going to happen.”

“Technology actually sometimes makes a human Spy more important. So take encryption, for example. Terrorists can now talk to each other without security services and intelligence services getting in the middle of that. So if that's the case, then technical coll…”

“You had, until now, the leading proponents of backdoors, let's say the leading opponents on the Hill, of encryption have been Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican.”

“Anything that's encrypted with quantum computing, you'll be able to crack that, whatever the encryption is, in, I don't know, seconds or minutes.”

“There's a paper that came out from DeepMind, I think, earlier this year, that was kind of, like, if you get two machines to talk to one another, they will eventually, like, and you can set up another computer to basically say, like, oh, I can read what you're …”
