As said before, it doesn’t matter where you position yourself on the paranoid spectrum: encrypted messaging is getting more and more popular. Here’s another fact: Q-Day is coming.
Apple is deepening the security of its iMessage platform with new protections against quantum computing attacks that could be a threat by the end of the decade.
We are introducing PQ3, a groundbreaking cryptographic protocol for iMessage that advances the state of the art of end-to-end secure messaging. With compromise-resilient encryption and extensive defenses against even highly sophisticated quantum attacks, PQ3 provides protocol protections that surpass those in all other widely deployed messaging apps.
Apple, already preparing for the next generation of threats, is introducing upgraded encryption to protect iMessage against future attacks using quantum computers.
