My post was a long time ago. However, in the time that has elapsed, a lot has happened with encryption. Quantum computing is interesting for the scientifically curious, but that's it. It's this way with many technologies --- they are "so whats" for a long time, until they are not. Advanced societies do well to pay some scientists to putter with cool stuff for which there is no immediate payoff. This doesn't mean governments are any good at picking winners. Apart from this, hacking is blossoming as a new kind of warfare. How could it not happen as so many indispensable processs become more and more automated.
