Microsoft has updated its SymCrypt cryptographic library to include two encryption algorithms designed to resist quantum computer attacks. Known as ML-KEM and XMSS, their incorporation is the first step in a broad overhaul of encryption protocols. As quantum computing advances, so does the threat to algorithms such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman, which have been considered almost uncrackable. Plans are in place to add further post-quantum algorithms to SymCrypt in the coming months.
