In addition to remaining active in the open source community and conference circuit, this podcast offers another channel that allows us to highlight the technical work of our engineers who will discuss everything from low-level frameworks to end-user features. Throughout the podcast, Meta engineer Pascal Hartig (@passy) will interview developers in the company.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T06:21:34.251887+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/meta-tech-podcast-525691"},"episode":{"title":"65: Getting Ready for Post-Quantum Cryptography","slug":"65-getting-ready-for-post-quantum-cryptography","published_at":"2024-07-29T14:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/meta-tech-podcast-525691/65-getting-ready-for-post-quantum-cryptography","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/meta-tech-podcast-525691","url":"https://insidefacebookmobile.libsyn.com/65-getting-ready-for-post-quantum-cryptography","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/insidefacebookmobile/mtp65_rc3.mp3?dest-id=697376","summary":"We don't know when but at some point in the future we will face what researchers call a \"Quantum Apocalypse\". This is when quantum computers will be able to break many of our existing encryption algorithms. To keep Meta'a users safe even from attacks that don't even exist today, Sheran and Rafael are working on post-quantum-ready encryption. Tune in to learn about the various challenges and trade offs that this work brings with it. Got feedback?
