Google Quantum-Proofs HTTPS by Compressing 15KB of Data Into 700 Bytes

via Ars Technica·4d ago

Google has achieved a breakthrough in quantum-resistant encryption by compressing 15 kilobytes of post-quantum cryptographic data into just 700 bytes — small enough to fit inside existing HTTPS handshakes without slowing down web browsing. The achievement is a critical step toward protecting the internet from the threat of quantum computers, which could theoretically break the encryption that secures virtually all online communication. By solving the bandwidth problem that made quantum-proof encryption impractical for everyday web traffic, Google has moved the industry significantly closer to a future where quantum attacks on encrypted data become irrelevant.
