Mathematical Mesh Part X: Considerations for Quantum Cryptanalysis
draft-hallambaker-mesh-quantum-00
Abstract
The Mathematical Mesh 'The Mesh' is an infrastructure that
facilitates the exchange of configuration and credential data between
multiple user devices and provides end-to-end security. This
document describes.

1. Introduction
One of the core goals of the Mesh is to move the state of the art in
commercial cryptography beyond that achieved in the 1990s when PKIX,
S/MIME and OpenPGP were first developed. While each of these
infrastructures and protocols has been subject to incremental
improvement, none has seen widespread adoption of new cryptographic
approaches.
