How would Vault's encryption handle attacks from quantum computers?
I've been researching HashiCorp Vault lately, and I really like that it uses strong cryptography for it's core security mechanisms.

I want to learn more about this, because it's interesting to discuss.
And it may end up affecting many security systems that rely on conventional mechanisms of cryptography in the future, as the technology advances and state actors begin to adopt it.
