by Marin Ivezic From the article:“[…]A paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Tim Palmer, an emeritus professor of physics at Oxford, proposed that quantum computers might face a hard, physics-imposed ceiling of roughly 1,000 useful qubits — far too few, Palmer argued, to ever break RSA-2048. […]the paper doesn’t… Read more »
From the Google Security blog post:“We are beginning tests of PQC enhancements starting in the next Android 17 beta, followed by general availability in the Android 17 production release. This deployment introduces a comprehensive architectural upgrade that is being rolled out across the operating system. By integrating the recently finalized NIST PQC standards deep into… Read more »
Google is introducing a 2029 timeline to secure the quantum era with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration (Heather Adkins, VP, Security Engineering at Google). From Google Keyword blog post:“Last month, we called to secure the quantum era before a future quantum computer can break current encryption. This new timeline reflects migration needs for the PQC era… Read more »

A blog post by Jan Schaumann from Akamai. From the blog post:“[…] Since all of these services are using TLS for traffic encryption and endpoint authentication, upgrading these services to use the Post-Quantum/Traditional (PQ/T) hybrid key exchange algorithm […] will likewise help protect them against the quantum threat. However, other applications and services use different… Read more »
