Apple Fortifies iMessage Privacy With Quantum-Resistant Upgrade
-
Apple is upgrading iMessage security with PQ3 to protect against future quantum computing attacks that could break current encryption.
-
PQ3 uses advanced cryptography codes that change constantly, making messages harder to intercept.
-
The upgrade provides "harvest now, decrypt later" protection against stored messages being decrypted in the future.
-
Major benefits are stronger security, self-healing capabilities, and no impact on message size or speed.
-
Apple recommends keeping devices updated, using strong passwords, enabling 2-factor authentication, having antivirus software, and being cautious of connections to protect against hackers.
