At least one presidential candidate has a policy about quantum computing and encryption.
It has two basic planks. One: fund quantum-resistant encryption standards. (Note: NIST is already doing this .) Two, fund quantum computing. (Unlike many far more pressing computer security problems, the market seems to be doing this on its own quite nicely.)
Okay, so not the greatest policy -- but at least one candidate has a policy. Do any of the other candidates have anything else in this area?
Yang has also talked about blockchain : "
"I believe that blockchain needs to be a big part of our future," Yang told a crowded room at the Consensus conference in New York, where he gave a keynote address Wednesday. "If I'm in the White House, oh boy are we going to have some fun in terms of the crypto currency community."
Okay, so that's not so great, either. But again, I don't think anyone else talks about this.
Note: this is not an invitation to talk more general politics. Not even an invitation to explain how good or bad Andrew Yang's chances are. Or anyone else's. Please.
