Google Urges Swift Post-Quantum Security Upgrades Amid Quantum Threats

Alphabet's Google warns that future quantum computers could crack today's encryption, urging governments and major industries to accelerate post-quantum security work. The company emphasizes crypto agility and ongoing updates, cites NIST's post-quantum standards, and notes that attackers may harvest data now to decrypt later. Google has tested quantum-safe methods in Chrome and argues cloud-based updates can speed the transition, while markets reacted to the news and analysts see potential upside from stronger security infrastructure.

"Apple Enhances iMessage Security with Post-Quantum Encryption Protocol"

Apple has updated iMessage with a new "post-quantum" encryption protocol called PQ3, which the company claims is the most significant cryptographic security upgrade in the messenger's history. This new protocol is designed to provide unparalleled security, surpassing other widely deployed messaging apps. It aims to protect against potential future quantum attacks and is fueled by a "post quantum secure" algorithm known as Kyber. Other companies, including Google, are also working on post-quantum encryption standards, and security experts have praised Apple's iMessage update as a significant improvement in messenger defenses.

"Apple Introduces Quantum-Proof Encryption for iMessage in iOS 17.4 Update"

Apple is introducing post-quantum encryption in its iMessage app with the launch of iOS and iPad OS 17.4 and macOS 14.4, making it one of the largest deployments of this future-resistant encryption technology. The update, which will replace existing encryption protocols, aims to protect against potential quantum computing-based attacks. This move comes in response to the growing efforts by governments, tech companies, and security agencies to develop and deploy quantum-resistant cryptography. Apple's post-quantum protocol, PQ3, will create new encryption keys and exchange messages using the Kyber algorithm, providing stronger protections against potential quantum threats.
