Today's cryptography is entirely dependent on prime numbers factorization and discrete logarithms and there are quantum algorithms that efficiently factor the prime number and compute the discrete logarithms. But it requires Quantum computers.
Harvest now, decrypt later, also known as store now, decrypt later or retrospective decryption, is a surveillance strategy that relies on the acquisition and long-term storage of currently unreadable encrypted data awaiting possible breakthroughs in decryption technology that would render it readable in the future.
