@utf_7 @protonprivacy we know how to break apart multiplied numbers (RSA) quickly since the 90s, but so far the hardware to do that was theoretical. Recently multiple independent groups have made progress on improving the algorithm and improving the hardware. We're probably still years away, but transitions like these take decades, and we want data to be secure for at least a decade, too, so it is time to act.

@utf_7 @protonprivacy ELI5 enough or do you want more details on how the math works?
