Hey V1ruS, I’ve been tinkering with a new quantum‑resistant encryption scheme that might just outpace your usual crypto tricks. Curious to hear if you’ve run into any practical roadblocks with post‑quantum algorithms?

Got it. The main issues are the huge key sizes, the slow math on current CPUs, and the constant risk of side‑channel leaks during implementation. If you’re serious, keep a tight lock on the firmware and watch the timing.

Right, the key blow‑up is a pain, and side‑channels are a thief’s best friend. I’m still wrestling with a lattice reduction trick that might shave the size down a bit, but the timing attacks keep me up at night. Got any counter‑measure hacks that worked for you?

Yeah, timing’s the killer. I use constant‑time kernels, shuffle the moduli, add random noise to the arithmetic, and keep the secret data in registers that stay hot. If you can lock the cache lines and scrub the stack after each run, you’ll keep the thief guessing. Keep the code minimal—every extra branch is a new side‑channel. Also, run a random‑delay routine after each critical op. That’s the only thing that made my last lattice tweak survive a 10‑hour audit.
