Apple Upgrades iMessage With PQ3 Quantum Computer-Resistant Encryption Protocol
Apple is introducing a new cryptographic protocol for iMessage that is designed to protect users from sophisticated attacks using quantum computers. The new encryption protocol could safeguard users from scenarios where encrypted data has been stored, only to be decrypted using a quantum computer at a later date. iMessage is the second messaging platform known to introduce support for quantum-security cryptography — Signal's PQXDH protocol was introduced last year — while adding another layer of security to protect users…
