Microsoft is preparing Windows 11 against the next major cybersecurity threat: quantum computers. In a blog post, Microsoft announced that Windows 11 Canary build 27852 and higher now support post-quantum cryptography, through PQC algorithms, allegedly securing them against quantum computers' unmatched crypto hacking power (against traditional crypto algorithms).
Specifically, Microsoft has upgraded SymCrypt (Microsoft's cryptographic library) to support ML-KEM, and ML-DSA (on top of PQC) through its Cryptography API: Next Generation libraries and certificate and cryptographic messaging functions.
