Microsoft unveils new protections against quantum-powered cyberattacks on Windows and Linux.
These updates introduce post-quantum cryptography (PQC) capabilities for Windows Insiders and Linux to address the evolving threat landscape presented by quantum computing.
Microsoft is adding ML-KEM and ML-DSA to Windows Insiders through CNG libraries and making updates to OpenSSL's API surface for developers on Linux.
The evolution in quantum computing necessitates continuous development in security measures due to the potential threat quantum computers pose to existing encryption algorithms.
