About this tag
The post-quantum tag on WindowsForum covers the transition to cryptographic systems that can resist attacks from future quantum computers. Discussions include CISA's product category guides for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness, Firefox 146's implementation of ML-KEM post-quantum key material for WebRTC, and the FrodoKEM key encapsulation mechanism as a conservative PQC solution. Related topics such as Microsoft's Level 2 quantum computing milestones and Marvell's cloud HSM expansions are also explored, reflecting the broader ecosystem changes driven by quantum threats and opportunities.
CISA’s new product-category lists mark a practical turning point in how organizations — and especially federal agencies — must buy, architect, and test for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness, requiring acquisition plans that favor PQC-capable products in specified categories and calling...
Mozilla’s stable channel has picked up a substantial set of updates with the rollout of Firefox 146, a release that pairs practical end-user conveniences—like a built‑in, device‑local backup for Windows 10—with forward‑looking cryptography and platform hardening across macOS and Linux. The...
Marvell’s expanded collaboration with Microsoft to bring LiquidSecurity hardware security modules (HSMs) deeper into Azure’s European footprint marks a meaningful inflection in how hyperscalers, governments and regulated industries will approach cryptographic key management and cloud sovereignty...
Microsoft’s brief line about quantum on its earnings call landed like a strategic pivot: Satya Nadella framed quantum as “the next big accelerator in the cloud,” and Microsoft paired that message with a concrete engineering milestone — the operational deployment of a Level 2 quantum capability...
Satya Nadella’s short sentence on Microsoft’s fiscal Q4 call—“The next big accelerator in the cloud will be Quantum, and I am excited about our progress.”—was both a strategic breadcrumb and a market jolt: paired with Microsoft’s announcement of operational Level 2 quantum capability, it...
Quantum computing has long been seen as both a promise and a threat: a future where computers can solve currently insurmountable problems, but also a world where the cryptographic foundations of secure communication may crumble. As research accelerates toward practical quantum computers—heralded...
