About this tag
The tls 1 3 tag currently features discussion of Microsoft’s Quantum Safe Program and the planned transition to post-quantum cryptography. The coverage focuses on Microsoft’s goal of moving critical products and services toward quantum-resistant security by 2029, as well as the pressure from governments for earlier deadlines. For Windows organizations, cloud tenants, software vendors, and enterprise security teams, the central practical issue is preparing for cryptographic migration rather than waiting for a future breakthrough. Suggested preparation includes identifying where cryptography is used across products, services, and infrastructure before new standards and procurement requirements make quantum-safe support an operational priority.
