It is not: there is still not even a wide consensus about which public key cryptography systems should replace the ones which can be broken by Shor's algorithm, and we are much farther from having developed protocols which can use them. For a few more years, at least, this will be a topic for cryptographers and the CFRG, not OS vendors like us. For a quick introduction to the state of the art you may start from http://pqcrypto.eu.org/docs/initial-recommendations.pdf . -- ciao, Marco
