Cryptography Methods Escape Death

RSA Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Homomorphic Encryption Shor's Algorithm Lattice-Based Encryption

A grim reaper moves past a series of doors labeled with cryptographic methods, leaving blood behind RSA, Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman, and Homomorphic Encryption. The joke is that Shor's Algorithm threatens to break several current cryptographic systems, while lattice-based encryption is presented as a safer post-quantum successor. It is used as a reaction to discussions about quantum computing and cryptography becoming obsolete.
