However, based on official Microsoft resources and recent news announcements, here’s what’s known about Windows 11 protection against quantum cyberattacks as of mid-2024:

  • Microsoft is implementing post-quantum cryptography (PQC): These are next-generation cryptographic algorithms designed to be secure against both traditional and quantum computers.
  • Integration into Windows 11: Windows 11 (and other Microsoft products like Azure and 365) will start utilizing these quantum-resistant algorithms in its security infrastructure over the next year.
  • Specific Features:
  • New encryption methods for things like BitLocker and Windows Hello that are designed to resist attacks from quantum computers.
  • Hybrid cryptography—using both traditional and quantum-safe algorithms during the transition period.
  • Standards and Interoperability: Microsoft is following NIST guidelines and collaborating with international partners to standardize these algorithms and ensure interoperability.
  • Reason for the update: Quantum computers will eventually be able to break current public key cryptography, so these updates future-proof the OS against the “harvest-now, decrypt-later” tactic, where encrypted info is stolen now and decrypted when quantum computers get powerful enough.
  • Rollout: Features are being released to businesses and individual users over the next months, prioritizing the highest-value and most infrastructure-critical platforms first.
