Howdy, I was reading a article where people "think" about things to come but that are coming as a general rule. It's a matter more of when than if I think. I have to say, I've read this in other places as well in the past. I do think it is getting closer. Since most of us are concerned about the security of our info, I'm wondering what others think and what the corrective measures will be, if they are known. The topic, encryption. Whether it is file system or the encryption used between say a user and their bank or other secure data methods both for personal info as well as Govt data like for militarys and such. Will AI, or future advances in computers not to far off, eventually make encryption really hard to keep secure and as a bonus, will data encrypted but stored somewhere, be crackable later with those advancements? One of the things the article pointed out is that some Govts are storing encrypted data with the hope of decrypting it later, either for intel or for some sort of investigation they are doing. This is one of those topics that there is likely no wrong answer, except for it will never happen. I'm sure opinions on this will vary. Heck, mine varies. With the coming AI build up, what effect will that have if any? Will future computer systems, that use MUCH faster technology than what we have today, be the breaking point? Will it be a combination of both? I'm mostly curious because this affects us all. I access my bank online and pay bills online. I also type in passwords and such as well that I would not want just anyone to be able to see and use. I also have encrypted data stored locally here. What do some of you who keep up with this topic more than most think or are hearing through the grapevine so to speak? Is this getting closer real fast? Is it going to be a long time yet? Just looking for some thoughts on this. Again, no wrong answer really. It's just a thread that some may want to read and then sort of add up the thoughts and ideas. Dale :-) :-)
