The company cites faster-than-expected advances in quantum computing and the threat of 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks as key drivers. Microsoft's Quantum Safe Program outlines three priorities: upgrading network cryptography to TLS 1.3, building crypto-agility to swap algorithms without redesigning applications, and modernizing cryptographic trust chains. The initiative is being integrated into Microsoft's Secure Future Initiative for tracking alongside other security goals. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
