Not just banking. I'm currently watching, from a distance, a
standardisation group that is standardising crypto algorithms for use in
a branch of IoT, and it's all FULL KEY LENGTH AHEAD! with AES-256,
SHA3-512 etc, because of QUANTUM! (There are other reasons why these key
sizes are recommended, but QUANTUM! is the one given in the materials.)
