Google bumps up Q Day deadline to 2029, far sooner than previously thought

Google has accelerated its timeline for Q Day, the point when quantum computers can break public-key cryptography, to 2029. The company is urging the adoption of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to replace vulnerable algorithms. Google plans to make Android quantum-resistant with the integration of ML-DSA for digital signing. This move aims to enhance security and accelerate digital transitions in the industry.
