One of the most advanced technologies that have been developing for a long time are the orders quantumSystems that work in a very different way from current and which allow a much higher calculation power to achieve, but they are always a mystery for many people, although Microsoft's new actions allow us to worry about the use they can be given because they are preparing Windows 11 To support their attacks.
Los orders quantum These are probably the most anticipated systems in IT, for years, we have listened to that they are the future, because they go far beyond classic computer science by increasing in a different way that allows you to develop much more complex tasks in less time. But this also has a part that worries businesses and users enough, the fact that they can solve problems which, in current computers, would take hundreds of years to decipher like certain cryptographic algorithms of cryptographic cryptographic algorithms orders quantum They can do it in much less time spend hundreds of years to almost months or even less.
Windows 11 is already preparing to support quantum computers attacks
Although several times the opposite seems, Microsoft is a company that cares very much about the security offered by its products, one of the main objectives they have with the launch of new updates of their operating systems as well as the cessation of support in the oldest is based on the avoidance of security problems. Now we know that one of the big news that Windows 11 will have is the possibility of resisting attacks of Quantum computersSomething that comes with the growing concern of companies after seeing the speed at which IT technologies are advancing.
In this case, the company announced in its blog that the construction of Windows 11 Canary 27852 and Superior will have new capacities in terms of security thanks to the fact that they have updated their cryptographic library Symbrypt To admit ML-KEM, ML-DSA and PQC. Each has a specific use, the first is designed to avoid collection and later deciphered data, the second seeks to protect systems such as identity verification and the last focuses on the avoidance of attacks by orders quantum.
If we are talking about PQC in detail, we can see that it is a post-chaptography system that uses mathematical equations extremely complicated by the fight against traditional and quantum models, but not only here because they are also much more demanding for equipment. In addition to being complicated, they also require keys that have a larger size that results in higher calculation times and the need for a greater bandwidth, which results in the need to use more resources to decipher them.
Although we have not yet seen how orders quantum They are a standard that can eventually affect users, if they are true that they represent a long -term threat, a year ago, for example, we could see a test in which Chinese researchers have managed to decipher a military diploma (one of the most complex in the world) with one of these systems.
