Internet was created to work as medium among the parties to facilitate them in everyday life. Some people corrupted the Internet by stealing data, information and using for their own goals. Privacy by default will bring back the full power of the Internet it is intended to be from beginning.
      In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? To steal the data and the information, corrupt decentralized systems. For centralized systems it is many many times easier because the data and the information are aggregate at only one or few points owned by a single owner.

      I support your application.
