Quantum computers will break today's most popular public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA, DSA, and ECDSA. This book introduces the reader to the next generation of cryptographic algorithms, the systems that resist quantum-computer attacks: in particular, post-quantum public-key encryption systems and post-quantum public-key signature systems. Leading experts have joined forces for the first time to explain the state of the art in quantum computing, hash-based cryptography, code-based cryptography, lattice-based cryptography, and multivariate cryptography.

…If you're relying on potentially-susceptible number-theoretic encryption algorithms like RSA, you could at some point switch to lattice or code-based alternatives. You should read "An Introduction To Post-Quantum Cryptography", by Daniel Bernstein.
on “Ask HN: Isn't encryption *temporary* privacy?” ↗It's a little pricey (I think it's meant as a textbook), but DJB has a book on post-quantum cryptography‡ He also has an intro paper (which is probably more along the lines of what you're looking for)‡ Hash-based cryptography, code-based cryptography, lattice-based cryptography, and multivariate-quadratic-equations…

But not all of them. See http://pqcrypto.org/ for some interesting reading. Post-Quantum Cryptography, Bernstein, 2009: http://www.e-reading.club/bookreader.php/135832/Post_Quantum... Regarding your point, I don't think that people here are being dismissive of your ideas. You're quite right. But there…
