Quantum-resistant cryptography?

[crabdancing]

I am anxious about the possibility of quantum computers, or other very similar machines being used to break commonly used cryptography mechanisms. While this isn't a problem yet, given how fast the technology has been progressing, SNDL is already a threat and actual system breaches may happen within the next decade. Has there been any discussion yet on picking quantum-secure algorithms for this sort of tooling, or using other techniques to help improve security (e.g., weird salting schemes?)

Looking at what my colleagues do in our chair in university in regard to this topic, it may still take a bit longer than a decade. But in any case this is a problem that cannot be solved in sops-nix itself. All the cryptography comes from sops itself and therefore needs to be implemented there. Please open an upstream issue there. But also it's advisable/best practice to make secrets rotatable so they are no longer useful in 5-10 years.

Just a heads-up i've created an issue about this in sops getsops/sops#1536.
