Hello everyone,
I keep reading about recent developments in the quantum computing field,
with whatever this may mean for classic asymmetric encryption/key
exchange algorithms. More specifically, it appears that both Google
(Quantum frontiers may be closer than they appear
<https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/safety-security/cryptography-migration-timeline/>)
and Cloudflare (Cloudflare targets 2029 for full post-quantum security
<https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-roadmap/>) have targeted 2029
for post-quantum migration. Both of these blog posts made me ponder
about the post-quantum security of the OMEMO. I am not an expert on the
field of asymmetric cryptography, but per XEP-0384
<https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0384.html>, OMEMO uses the X3DH key
agreement protocol for key exchange and the Double Ratchet Algorithm for
message encryption and decryption. From what I can grasp, Signal has
developed the PQXDH key agreement protocol as a post-quantum secure
variant of X3DH, while Double Rachet also seems to provide no
post-quantum protection
<https://signal.org/docs/specifications/doubleratchet/#harvest-now-decrypt-later-attacks>.
With that being said, I'd like to ask if there are any plans to update
the relevant OMEMO standard in the future to make OMEMO
post-quantum-proof and if not, whether OMEMO's post-quantum security is
considered trivial or not.
Thanks in advance
