This analysis highlights a critical vulnerability in mobile ecosystems where 97% of apps lack post-quantum cryptography, exposing sensitive data to future "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks. The findings underscore the urgent need for organizations to migrate from legacy algorithms like DES and RC4 to quantum-resistant standards before cryptographically relevant quantum computers become operational.

Nearly all mobile apps lack quantum-safe encryption, NowSecure finds

Quantum ZeitgeistOctober 20, 20264 min read

NowSecure found 97% of 136,711 iOS & Android apps lack detectable post-quantum cryptography (PQC), leaving data vulnerable to future quantum computer attacks.

Nearly all mobile applications lack the encryption needed to withstand future quantum computer attacks, according to a new analysis of over 136,711 iOS and Android apps by NowSecure. The firm’s research revealed that 97% of apps contain no detectable post-quantum cryptography, leaving sensitive data vulnerable to decryption long after it is transmitted. “Mobile apps are the most exposed and least inventoried part of an organization’s encryption,” said Alan Snyder, CEO of NowSecure, highlighting…
