“Well, we raided his mom’s house and confiscated all his cobbled-together e-waste.”
“And!?”
“His drives were encrypted. Apparently he ‘applied PQC patches to dm-crypt himself’, whatever that means. All I know is that it made the guys from NSA scream. There was nothing we could do.”
“So we’ve got nothing?”
“Oh no. He happily gave us both the keyfile and the passphrase.”
“So…?”
“No warez, no CSA, no political manifestos or illicit recipes. Not even tax evasion - it’s not like he has an income. Just… copyleft source code as far as the eye could see.”
Only Asymetric encryption, like PGP has Problems with Quantum Computers. Symmetric, like AES, used by dm-crypt is not affected by Quantum Computers. It doesn’t rely on multiplied big prime numbers or stuff like that.

Is it a proved theorem that quantum computers dont have an advantage for AES, or is it just unkown?
