Chrome switching to NIST-approved ML-KEM quantum encryption
Google is updating the post-quantum cryptography used in the Chrome browser to protect against TLS attacks using quantum computers and to mitigate store-now-decrypt-later attacks. The upcoming change will swap Kyber used in hybrid key exchanges to a newer, and slightly modified version, renamed as Module Lattice Key Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM). This change comes roughly five months […]
NIST releases first encryption tools to resist quantum computing
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released the first three encryption standards designed to resist future cyberattacks based on quantum computing technology. The agency encourages system administrators to start the transition to the new algorithms as soon as possible, since timely adoption is paramount for protecting sensitive information from attackers with a […]
