Quantum or tell me that you fall in the pseudoscientific trap.

This is about them adding post-quantum encryption, which means encryption that could survive an attack using quantum computers.

This is computer science and mathematics, not pseudoscientific crap.

My sentence wasn't that litteral. It's pseudoscientific crap marketing. "Quantum security" isn't "survive attacks using quantum computers". It's completely pedantic.

The issue with this usage is that the meaning of the words disappears.

“Quantum security” is a fairly widely accepted term in the industry and it has meaning.

Other terms with the same or similar meaning are quantum cryptography or post-quantum security.

It's my point. I never ever wrote the term doesn't exist nor the term isn't valid.
