But...
did you go and Ha ha[^] them?  
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

But, that would be un-professional! (just like thinking it's SI driver package you need, not the FTDI version and not saying anything, just less obvious!)

I could only think of two, and the first was right. Probably loads more possible though.

So they have a solution in search of a problem. They'll probably figure out a way to get it involved with AI since that's all the rage these days.

From what I remember, the well known RSA algorithm in cryptography, first devised in the late 70's, was for a number of years, a solution in search of a problem.

Not sure that after 50 years we found the proper problem for RSA to solve...
What we found that RSA is breakable - very depending on key size, and extremely slow on large keys...

The way it is used these days, speed isn't really an issue. RSA and other asymmetric ciphers are often used just to establish a secure symmetric-key session, Then the grunt work is often handed off, at least in part, to hardware.
So what if you and I burn even a few seconds of CPU to set up a session where we can securely exchange megabytes or gigabytes.
The same goes for, say, establishing an ssh terminal session.

I didn't really meant it as a bad or good thing, more like a fact...
I always joke about RSA to be being as slow as the mediaeval implementation of it...

I've wondered about this off and on for years. At first it appeared quantum computing would open up new areas of research and capabilities but as quantum computers kept getting delayed more and more people figured out how to take quantum algorithms and convert them for classic Von Neuman architectures where they have outperformed, and in some cases by orders of magnitude, the previous algorithms that were being used. The upshot of this is that the realm of quantum computing algorithms has been greatly reduced with Shore's (sp) algorithm for encryption/decryption.

I broke through.
Yesterday I was up against a huge number of unknowns in terms of developing against this new hardware I'm using - a 1GHz Cortex M monster by NXP.
- I didn't know how to use any SPI buses aside from the first one (there are 6).
- I didn't know their build system.
- I didn't know their HAL packages.
- Their IDE was failing on me
- I didn't know how to develop raw against the chip on my board instead of developing against the board itself.
(All that and I wasn't 100% sure my board even functioned well enough for the tests since it arrived with components visibly missing and the stock firmware unable to run due to a faulty or missing component)
I had to tell my client that I likely wouldn't be ready with benchmark figures by next Tuesday's meeting. Today, I solved it all, and I got my figures (and they're reasonable, which means we can actually use this hardware)
I'm stunned that I got through it all. I'm not really that clever, just persistent, so I figured it would take awhile.
I should probably code something before this superpower wears off.
