<p>Just a point of fact: Atom bombs are not implosion weapons. One
of the two 1945 designs used an implosion detonator where large
amounts of ordinary explosives crushed a specially shaped nuclear
"core" to trigger its explosion in ways that humanity should
better forget how to do. This makes it as much an implosion
weapon as a six shooter is a percussion weapon (it does use a
percussive hammer to make the cartridge load detonate).</p>

You, maybe. I'm unlikely to see 2055, at which point I'd be 105. <br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">and there is much sensitive info we may

permanently sensitive. <br>

<br>
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is bunkum. Go out and
buy a <br>
copy of Chuck Hansen's[1] _Swords of Armageddon_ or John
Coster-Mullen's <br>
_Atom Bombs_, both of which openly publish details of nuclear
weapon <br>
manufacture that, at the time of their writing, the government
would <br>
have literally killed to keep secret. <br>
<br>
I really doubt you're dealing with secrets more sensitive than
radiation <br>
implosion. <br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">So it's not that extreme position to say
move to PQC algorithms as soon as possible. <br>

<br>
That's not what have@ wrote. He wrote that everyone needed to
migrate <br>
immediately. ("Yesterday," in fact, was the word he used.) <br>
<br>
That's an extreme position, and a thoroughly silly one. <br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">In this case we're stuck encrypting the
data with a 3-layer <br>

<br>
Please don't. This is one of the most amateurish mistakes to make
in <br>
cryptographic engineering. <br>
