"In the medium term, we need to be prepared for the eventuality that large quantum computers could be built: this would require an upgrade of most symmetric cryptographic algorithms and a completely new generation of public-key algorithms."

"Some physicists predicted that within the next 10 to 20 years quantum computers will be built that are sufficiently powerful to implement Shor’s ideas and to break all existing public key schemes. Thus we need to look ahead to a future of quantum computers, and we need to prepare the cryptographic world for that future.”

Prof Seth Lloyd of MIT, MIT Review 2008

"Even a relatively small quantum computer, one that had a few tens of thousands of qubits, could consider so many different values at once that it would be able to break all known [ed: RSA, D&H, ECC, AES-128] codes commonly used for secure Internet communication.”

Synaptic Labs' Participation:	NITRD is an US Federally research and development co-ordination project. This document publishes all 3 of Synaptic Labs' inputs to NITRD's National Cyber Leap Year "Request for Input" process as listed below: Submission 1: "A Post Quantum Secure, End-to-End, Universal Security Framework (PQSUSF)" Submission 2: "Universal distributed decentralised federated post quantum secure eID (PQSeID)" Submission 3: "A Post Quantum Secure Universal Network Carrier Network of the Future (PQSUNC)"
About NITRD:	The Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program is America's primary source of Federally funded revolutionary breakthroughs in advanced information technologies such as computing, networking, and software. NITRD is a collaboration of more than a dozen Federal research and development agencies, including DARPA, DHS, DOE, EPA, NARA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, NSA, NSF, OSD and DoD.
