need to develop new cryptographic methods—and these new methods should be able to withstand not just classical attacks but also attacks by quantum computers. Post-quantum cryptography is now an extremely active area, with new methods of encryption being developed. Of course, there is no reason why these have to use quantum

e-money could purchase – a useful feature for remittances or philanthropic donations’. That is only the tip of the iceberg, to my mind. An aside: post-quantum cryptography Much of the discussion about meta-technology here rests on the use of asymmetric cryptography (which uses public and private keys), which is at the

quantum computation. One is quantum key distribution, or QKD. This exploits the quantum properties of physical systems, so it requires specialized hardware. The other is post-quantum cryptography, or PQC, which, as with existing forms of asymmetric cryptography, exploits the intractability of certain mathematical problems, so it can be implemented in hardware or
