Cryptographic algorithms for encryption, hashing, signing, and key agreements are the fundamental building blocks of many secure communication systems. They are also undergoing a transformational change. Quantum computers can break traditional algorithms that have been in use for the last 20+ years, making it critical to begin transitioning to new quantum-resistant algorithms to protect sensitive data now and in the future. Explore recent and upcoming Windows changes in certificates, cryptography, and TLS APIs relevant to post-quantum cryptography. Learn how to plan for new cryptosystems and prepare for future cryptographic changes using crypto agility.
