#AppleCryptoUpdate Apple has introduced a new cryptographic protocol called PQ3 to its messaging service iMessage, which provides protection against potential attacks by quantum computers. The protocol is included in iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, macOS 14.4, and watchOS 10.4. PQ3 combines the existing Elliptic Curve algorithm with a new post-quantum algorithm through a hybrid design, which protects against current and future threats.$BTC
