Signal’s New Quantum Resistant Magic Keeps Your Secrets Safe.

Once upon a time, a wizard named Moxie Marlinspike conjured up a magical recipe called the Textsecure Protocol, later transformed into the Signal Protocol. This enchanting recipe made sure that only the sender and receiver of a message could decipher its secrets, keeping snooping authorities and nosy villains at bay.

In the year 2010, Marlinspike waved his wand and conjured two apps: one for sending secret scrolls (text messages) and another for enchanted phone conversations, both powered by his protective protocol. Then, in a grand merger ceremony in 2014, these two apps became one, and Signal was born.

Now, let's leap ahead to 2023, where the privacy-loving Signal has sent out a message of its own. They've decided to mix up their magical protocol with a new potion to guard against potential trouble from quantum computing – that's tech using quantum mechanics to solve brain-boggling problems.

The exact date when these big, scary quantum computers will arrive is as clear as a foggy crystal ball. But already, government folks and other curious characters are using a trick called "harvest now, decrypt later." Imagine them as packrats with super storage powers, like the NSA, downloading every message from their targets, hoping that someday they'll unlock the secret code and read all those ancient messages.

But fear not, for there's a new kind of spellbook called "post-quantum cryptography" (PQC). Smart wizards are crafting cryptographic spells that can withstand even the mightiest quantum computer's attack.

And here's the thrilling news, Signal, our privacy guardian, saw this storm brewing and cast a protective spell of its own. They're not letting anyone read your past scrolls, even if they get their hands on a quantum crystal ball. Privacy lovers everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief. So, next time someone in the tavern babbles about everything being cracked by quantum computers, you can say, "Not on Signal's watch!"
