Researchers crack quantum crypto

[Mike O'Dell]

it is interesting to contemplate what the world would look like
if it turns out that it is simply impossible to "protect information"
in the manner implied in Andre's comment. say we woke up one morning
and discovered that factoring, the discrete logarithm, and similar
things were not as hard as they are assumed to be at the moment,
and that differential cryptanalysis could have its way with known
unclassified algorithms.  what would the world look like?
