Microsoft's recent announcement highlights the integration of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) within Windows 11 starting from Canary build 27852. Through enhancements to its SymCrypt library, Microsoft has added support for PQC algorithms like ML-KEM and ML-DSA, designed to bolster security against evolving quantum threats. These algorithms ensure data remains safe from potential future attacks where quantum computers could easily decrypt conventional encryption. With PQC becoming part of international standards and influencing products across its ecosystem, Microsoft aims to fortify its services, including Azure and Microsoft 365, against possible exploitations by advanced quantum computing capabilities.
Microsoft has integrated post-quantum cryptography (PQC) support into Windows 11, bolstering security against future quantum threats through its SymCrypt library.
The addition of PQC algorithms ML-KEM and ML-DSA in SymCrypt enhances data protection, particularly against the 'collect now, decrypt later' threats posed by quantum computers.
