I'd still suggest covering crypto in general, if only to get people aware
of the need for it; the security of entire nations depends upon it (such
as the famous Hot Line betwixt the White House and the Kremlin).
Unless you're talking to a crypto audience (in which case you'd better
have done your homework, otherwise they will rip you apart), just keep it
general.
Quantum crypto is still worth a brief mention (just to get them
interested), but it's still lab-only, and probably will not be deployed in
my life-time (I'm hitting 62).
