Practical Cryptography for Developers

The book, when including quantum-safe cryptograpgy, should include quantum-resistant, such as algorithms currently in-use but with higher security strength due to configurations, curves, or key-sizes.

This is important, since this book is intended for developers to use cryptography today.

No configuration, curve or key-size would protect any of the asymmetric crypto mentioned in the book from quantum computing. You really have to switch to something mentioned in the post-quantum chapter.

Ultimately, that's true, but I am clearly referencing the interim transition. After all, that's what the book is about - developers today who use cryptography. That "ultimate" timeframe won't happen today or tomorrow. Look at CNSA for examples.
