About this tag
Crypto agility refers to the ability of systems to rapidly and securely transition between cryptographic algorithms, a critical capability as the industry prepares for the threat of quantum computers. Microsoft has outlined a multi-year roadmap to integrate post-quantum cryptography (PQC) across Windows, Azure, and Microsoft 365, with early adoption by 2029 and full transition by 2033. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover Microsoft's Quantum Safe Program, PQC APIs in Windows 11, and enterprise readiness for quantum-safe cryptography. The tag highlights the need for organizations to build crypto agility into their infrastructure to replace vulnerable public-key algorithms like RSA and ECC before quantum computers can break them.
