TDYR 368 – Will Quantum Cryptography Affect the DNS and DNSSEC?

Will quantum cryptography affect the DNS and DNSSEC? If so, how? and when? Today at the "Tech Day" part of the ICANN 66 meeting in Montreal, John Levine spoke about what impact quantum crypto might have on DNS. His slides are available at: https://static.ptbl.co/static/attachments/232986/1572893313.pdf?1572893313 In this TDYR episode, I talk about what John said in that session and my thoughts around it all.
