Windows 11 Gets Quantum-Hardened Cryptography Technology

The Nordic region will deepen cooperation in quantum technology to "maintain a global leadership position," it was announced in connection with Nordic leaders meeting with business executives.

Among the cybersecurity trends, the post-quantum agitates experts and solutions publishers a lot, at least we assume. The ANSSI naturally looks at what is happening on post-quantum cryptography (or PQC) and its consideration by companies and institutions. The French agency has just published a study carried out since 2023 and the result is not brilliant." The post-quantum transition primarily concerns asymmetric cryptography, especially for uses…

In a key move towards future cybersecurity, Microsoft has begun to integrate post-quantic cryptography algorithms (PQC) into Windows 11, with the aim of protecting its operating system from the threats that quantum computers will pose. This technology, still in development, promises a gigantic leap in processing capacity, but also poses a significant risk to current encryp…

Digital security is preparing for a new chapter. Microsoft has activated the first phase of integration of quantum-resistant (post-quantic) cryptography, also known as PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography), on Windows and Linux systems. The goal is to anticipate a future where current cryptographic defenses will no longer be enough. This initiative offers developers and organizations, no matter what OS they use from both, a golden opportunity to test …

Microsoft Brings Post-Quantum Cryptography to Windows and Linux Users

Image: Microsoft Microsoft is preparing users for the future of PC security by adding Post-Quantum Cryptography capabilities to Windows 11 and Linux. Understandably overlooked by the excitement of Computex, Microsoft’s announcement from last week slid under the radar of many. Microsoft has stated that it has made PQC available via Windows Insider Canary Channel Build 27852 and higher and for Linux users through SymCrypt-OpenSSL version 1.9.0. Th…

Preparing Windows for the Quantum Age: Microsoft Hardens Windows 11 Preview with New Encryption

To defend regular users from bad actors wielding quantum computing power like Majorana 1, Windows 11 Insider Preview now includes built-in support for post-quantum cryptography (PQC), giving developers and security teams early access to algorithms designed to withstand the capabilities of future quantum computers. Available in Canary Channel Build 27852 and above, this update integrates two new schemes, ML-KEM for key exchange and ML-DSA for dig…
