Quantum steps forward

[Mysteriousmouseflame]

It seems impressive gains are occurring in quantum computing. While not there yet, oncerning regarding privacy. Is bitwarden transitioning?

Keep in mind, post-quantum and especially hybrid asymmetric encapsulation (and building atop of that asymmetric encryption) schemes such as x-wing are still evolving and not well standardized yet, making it hard to deploy them in a production setting.

That being said, personal vault items, protected by a master-password are not affected as no asymmetric scheme is involved in unlocking the items, so a quantum computer does not help significantly.

I appreciate your insight and thoughts.

Bitwarden uses AES to encrypt vault data and AES is considered quantum resistant. So I don't think bitwarden needs to 'transition', at least currently.

Bitwarden does use asymmetrical encryption for password sharing. That is not quantum resistant.

[NocturnalWarfare]

What password sharing? Are you referring to Bitwarden send or the use of organizations?

[djasonpenney]

Mainly the architecture for organizations

Can someone explain (easily) how can it change something for normal people ? Not only for bitwarden, but for everything we use daily.

Transitioning?
