+  link: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/apple-adds-pq3-quantum-resistant-encryption-to-imessage/
+  date: 2024-02-27
+  blurb: | 
+    Apple has implemented a new post-quantum cryptographic protocol, PQ3, to iMessage, aiming to protect against potential quantum computing threats that could break current encryption methods. This protocol, which combines with the existing Elliptic Curve Cryptography, introduces a hybrid model to ensure robust protection against both current and future quantum attacks. PQ3 features innovations like periodic rekeying to enhance security further, making it one of the most secure at-scale messaging protocols available.

+- title: Reducing the Number of Qubits in Quantum Factoring
+  org: iacr.org
+  date: 2024-02-13
+  blurb: |
+    The paper presents an optimization for reducing the number of qubits required in quantum factoring, specifically targeting Shor's algorithm. By employing a combination of techniques, including May and Schlieper's truncation and the Ekerå-Håstad variant, the authors achieve a significant reduction in qubit requirement to factor an RSA-2048 instance, potentially using less than 1700 qubits
