Yep, cybersecurity is the biggest area where I suspect intelligence improvements will let the defense go very far ahead relative to attack, for complexity theory reasons, as well as other sorts of cryptography in the works.
IMO, if we survive, our era of hacking being easy will look like a lot the pirates’ history: Used to be a big threat, but we no longer care because pirates can’t succeed anymore.
Cryptography vs Cryptanalysis will probably go the same way as the anti-piracy forces vs pirate forces, a decisive victory for the defense in time.
