Hackers, Government's Eye and Quantum Computing - Forget Privacy

Many people are so worried that their private information will be stolen and some criminal might steal their identity. Well, these are credible fears and yet just wait until the future with quantum computing. Now as the future of Quantum Computing takes place 128 bit encryption is pretty much worthless. Soon all information will be available to everyone anyway; for good or evil.

Indeed, I thought some of the comments at the RSA Meeting in S.F. were indeed relevant. But I was discussing all this recently with one of the original Internet founders last month prior to his attending Davos 2007 and they are working hard to control the problems and challenges. The stakes are pretty high for the future. Especially "National Security" you see?

Of course those who defend such things like "Total Awareness" program have a point as well;



"What is the matter, what are you trying to hide anyway?"

If you look at the "Electronic Frontier" Group in DC, ACLU and other such privacy right advocates, you have to admit that they also seem to cause problems such as delaying the development of honest technologies, for instance; RFID active or inactive tags, RFID embedded chips and such all of which have super-Killer-Applications.
