> I coined the phrase "post-quantum cryptography" in 2003

It's interesting to note that according to DJB he's the first person to coin the term "post-quantum cryptography".

It's also interesting to note that after several years of open evaluation processes by NIST (similar process to how AES was selected), 3 post-quantum cryptographic algorithms have been short-listed for potential post-quantum encryption standards [1].

What is more interesting to note that the link [1] had been submitted 8 times previously by 8 different persons without any comments from HN (all 0 comments), it's sadly obvious that the subject is not interesting enough for HN crowds.
