Summary

Cryptographer Matthew Green, quoted on Twitter, estimates a 1% chance that the world is a Minicrypt world, where public-key encryption is impossible, and a 15% chance that confidence in existing public-key encryption algorithms is functionally lost. He argues that AI can produce surprises far faster than humans can replace cryptographic standards, so recovery depends on preparing in advance.
