Moin!

-ironic- Damn does this mean i have to use numbers greater than 5 as p,q in my implementation of RSA? Damn, even encoding my files with a 8-Bit key will mean milliseconds of waiting in front of my K7. I can't stand waiting -/ironic-

No, to be onest i do not think the coherence length will be raised to those needed for a 256-QBit QC within a decade. Until then we will use longer keys. I think that - if ever - the race Keylength vs. QC will be going on 20 years at least.
