Today, the internet (like most digital infrastructure in general) relies heavily on the security offered by public-key cryptosystems such as RSA, Diffie-Hellman (DH), and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). But the advent of quantum computers has raised real questions about the long-term privacy of data exchanged over the internet. In the future, significant advances in quantum computing will make it possible for adversaries to decrypt stored data that was encrypted using today’s cryptosystems.

Developers use CSS frameworks to reduce boilerplate, increase quality, and drive consistency. However, these gains are hard to maintain as an application’s codebase matures. Developers must configure and override the framework to accommodate changes. Instead of using a CSS framework, developers should write their own custom CSS.
