Apple Brings Post-Quantum Encryption To iMessages – The Tech Report
Amidst growing cyberattacks, Apple has taken a brand new initiative to protect its iMessage users with a new post-quantum cryptographic protocol called PQ3. The announcement came through a blog post where the tech giant said that the use of practical quantum computers has made it possible for hackers to launch even more sophisticated attacks. To protect Apple users from these new-age attacks, a new protocol is being integrated into the app.
Apple buffs up iMessage security with quantum computer-proof encryption – Android Authority
Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority TL;DR Todays encryption is good enough to defend against most encryption cracking attempts. But will todays encryption hold up when pitted against more powerful computers in the future
What Is Apple PQ3 Protocol And How Will It Affect IMessage? – Dataconomy
The tech giant has revealed its new Apple PQ3 protocol for iMessage, a proactive response to the looming threat of quantum computing. Traditional encryption methods, which protect vast amounts of online data, are vulnerable to the incredible power of future quantum computers. Apple PQ3 protocol dramatically redefines iMessage security with cutting-edge technologies designed to withstand these advanced attacks, ensuring your conversations remain private even as technology evolves.
Quantum computer-proof encryption: Apple completely changes the security of iMessage – Softonic EN
Apple has made a before and after in the history of cybersecurity with the announcement of PQ3, its new post-quantum cryptography protocol specifically designed for iMessage. A significant breakthrough in the protection of digital communications that sets a new security standard, surpassing by far all other existing protocols in commercial messaging applications.
iMessage gets a major makeover that puts it on equal footing with Signal – Ars Technica
iMessage is getting a major makeover that makes it among the two messaging apps most prepared to withstand the coming advent of quantum computing, largely at parity with Signal or arguably incrementally more hardened. On Wednesday, Apple said messages sent through iMessage will now be protected by two forms of end-to-end encryption (E2EE), whereas before, it had only one. The encryption being added, known as PQ3, is an implementation of a new algorithm called Kyber that, unlike the algorithms iMessage has used until now, cant be broken with quantum computing
DeepMind chief says Google’s bungled AI faces feature is returning soon – The Star Online
Google plans to resume a paused artificial intelligence feature that generates images of people in the "next couple of weeks, according to the companys top AI executive. "We hope to have that back online in a very short order, Demis Hassabis, head of the research division Google DeepMind, said on Monday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Google to relaunch ‘woke’ Gemini AI image tool in few weeks: ‘Not working the way we intended’ – New York Post
Google said it plans to relaunch its artificial intelligence image generation software within the next few weeks after taking it offline in response to an uproar over what critics called absurdly woke depictions of historical scenes. Though the Gemini chatbot remains up and running, Google paused its image AI feature last week after it generated female NHL players, African American Vikings and Founding Fathers, as well as an Asian woman dressed in 1943 military garb when asked for an image of a Nazi-era German soldier. We have taken the feature offline while we fix that
