Apple users have something groundbreaking to look forward to with the upcoming iOS 17.4 update, set to be released in early March. In a surprising move, Apple has revealed a significant enhancement that will revolutionize the security of iMessage - quantum computer protection.
According to Apple's support note issued on February 21, the introduction of PQ3, a cutting-edge post-quantum cryptographic protocol, will mark the most substantial cryptographic security upgrade in iMessage history. This upgrade will elevate the existing encryption in iMessage to a whole new level, providing what Apple claims to be the strongest security properties of any at-scale messaging protocol in the world.
