Apple has published its post-quantum cryptography implementations in corecrypto, together with mathematical proofs and verification tools for independent expert evaluation, allowing external researchers to review the work and reproduce the company’s analysis. Post-quantum cryptography is designed to protect encrypted data from future quantum computers that could break widely used public-key encryption algorithms. A new approach…

Automating post-quantum cryptography readiness using AWS Config
Migrating your TLS endpoints to Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) starts with understanding your current TLS endpoint inventory and posture. This post introduces the PQC Readiness Scanner — an automated tool that inventories your Application Load Balancer (ALB), Network Load Balancer (NLB), and Amazon API Gateway endpoints and continuously monitors their TLS configurations for PQC readiness. The…

Proton Mail brings quantum-safe email encryption to all accounts
Post-quantum protection is now available as an optional feature in Proton Mail across all plans, including the free tier. How post-quantum protection works Once enabled, Proton Mail generates new encryption keys designed to protect future encrypted emails against attacks from quantum computers. Because the feature relies on new encryption keys, users need updated Proton apps…

Protecting your secrets from tomorrow’s quantum risks
As outlined in the AWS post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration plan, addressing the risk of harvest now, decrypt later (HNDL) attack is an important part of your post-quantum plan. Upgrading the client-side of your workloads to support quantum-resistant confidentiality is an important aspect of your side of the PQC shared responsibility model. Timelines to plan and…

Cloudflare ‘actively adjusting’ quantum priorities in wake of Google warning
Google’s accelerated post-quantum encryption deadline has spurred other leaders in the industry, including Cloudflare, to consider pushing forward their own plans. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has set a 2030 deadline for depreciating legacy encryption algorithms ahead of their planned retirement in 2035. Late last month Google brought forward its own…

Cloudflare moves up its post-quantum deadline as researchers narrow the path to Q-Day
Cloudflare announced it is targeting 2029 to complete post-quantum security across its entire product suite, including post-quantum authentication. The company is following a revised roadmap that Google also adopted after announcing that it had improved the quantum algorithm used to break elliptic curve cryptography. Google stopped short of publishing the algorithm, disclosing only a zero-knowledge…

Quantum threats are already active and the defense response remains fragmented
Enterprises are moving toward post-quantum security at uneven speeds, and the gap between organizations that have built crypto-agility into their infrastructure and those that have adopted the label without the underlying capability is widening. Dr. Tan Teik Guan, CEO of Singapore-based cybersecurity company pQCee, draws a sharp line between the two. Crypto-agility, in his view,…

Beijing wants its own quantum-resistant encryption standards rather than adopt NIST’s
China is reportedly planning to develop its own national post-quantum cryptography standards within the next three years, even as most of the world has already begun migrating to those finalized by the US in 2024. Post-quantum cryptography deals with algorithms that can protect data from the threat proposed by future quantum computers, which are expected…

PQC roadmap remains hazy as vendors race for early advantage
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has long sat on the periphery of enterprise security, with experts calling it inevitable but not urgent. That posture is beginning to shift. Earlier this year, Palo Alto Networks published a blog announcing a new “quantum-safe security” initiative, framing it as a way for enterprises to assess where quantum-vulnerable cryptography exists across…
