  • They're using a mixture of Streamlined NTRU Prime 4591^761 and X25519. [LINK] Note that this is still considered "experimental" and probably won't be enabled by default. I'd advise checking out some of the recent DJB and Tanja Lange talks for further detail on how research …

    In Cryptography of SSH (2006)
  • AES-256 is believed to be quantum-resistant. The only known quantum attack on AES-256 is utilizing Grover's algorithm, which is an universal approach. As for assymetric crypto, the ones we have now are susceptible to quantum attacks. There are a bunch of proposals for quantum-proof algorithms …
