Microsoft Adds Support for Post-Quantum Algorithms in SymCrypt Library

September 11, 2024 at 06:57AM Microsoft is incorporating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms into its SymCrypt open source core cryptographic library to prepare for the quantum computers era. PQC algorithms, though more resilient, come with trade-offs like larger key sizes and longer computation times. This is part of Microsoft’s Quantum Safe Program to achieve quantum readiness. … Read more

Google’s Post-Quantum Upgrade Doesn’t Mean We’re All Protected Yet

March 12, 2024 at 09:48PM NIST began standardizing post-quantum cryptography algorithms for global integration while NSA, CISA, and NIST issued recommendations for quantum-readiness. Google deployed Kyber for TLS encryption. However, server-side and widespread adoption challenges exist. HNDL attacks are a growing concern, urging organizations to proactively adopt quantum-safe strategies. Public infrastructure upgrades pose timing and … Read more
