As the quantum computer develops, AES-256 may become not security.
Will VeraCrypt Support AES-512 in the future?

AES-512 voodoo. Great answer from fgrieu

If we need more than AES-256, we dont need more a crypto jokes from NIST. And we have Serpent :-)

For post AES-256 age we can look for solutions from Schneiers troop. Before then, therefore quantum computers ~2035, we can further fix VeraCrypt, make win-equivalents packages for Linux/*nix, suppoort for GPT and optimizing crypto-flow for SSDs.

Before 2025, AES-512 is petty.
