Quantum Encryption Standard Officially Ratified

WASHINGTON — The 'Q-Day'threat—the moment a quantum computer becomes powerful enough to crack current RSA encryption—is looming. To head off this cryptographic apocalypse, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has officially ratified the 'Lattice-Q' algorithm as the new global standard for digital security. Major tech firms are now racing to roll out updates to browsers, banking apps, and secure messaging platforms to ensure all data is 'Quantum-Resistant' by the end of the year.
