In a post published on Wednesday, Google said it is giving itself until 2029 to prepare for this event. T...
Steelman: Google is taking a proactive approach to the impending threat of quantum computers breaking current cryptography methods by setting a deadline for themselves and encouraging others to adopt PQC. They are also focusing on making Android quantum resistant, starting with Android 17.
Patterns detected: ARC-0024 Ambiguity (The article does not clarify why Google is a pioneer in both quantum and PQC); ARC-0035 Appeal to Popularity (Google's leadership role may be used to influence other comp...
