Quantum Computing

Just wondering what the enpass team doing to their security to prepare for quantum computing risks for breaking existing encryption systems. 

 

Quantum computing will break today’s encryption standards - here’s what to do about it | About Verizon

Thanks

Hi @finswim01,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are keeping a close eye on developments in post quantum cryptography. Right now we only use symmetric encryption only in Enpass, specifically AES-256, which is believed to be quantum resistant.

Enpass should be farely safe in a quantum computing era as it uses SQLCipher with AES.

As long as you use atleast 256 of keysize which is the informal industry standard which Enpass also does.

Cryptos that are at risk are RSA and with that public key implementations
