This analysis highlights a critical gap in mobile security readiness, revealing that the vast majority of apps lack post-quantum cryptography (PQC) libraries while simultaneously relying on weak legacy encryption standards. The findings underscore an urgent need for organizations to inventory and remediate cryptographic implementations before anticipated quantum threats materialize.

NowSecure Finds No Detectable PQC Code in 97% of Mobile Apps

The Quantum InsiderOctober 20, 20265 min read

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — NowSecure today released an analysis, conducted with NowSecure Platform, of 136,711 iOS and Android apps. It found that 97% contain no detectable post-quantum cryptography (PQC), the new generation of encryption standards designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. Even among the most popular U.S. apps, fewer than 1 in 10 […]

A NowSecure analysis of 136,711 iOS and Android apps found that 96.9% contained no detectable post-quantum cryptography (PQC)-related code or libraries. The analysis also identified weak encryption algorithms in more than 3,100 mobile apps, pointing to existing cryptographic weaknesses alongside future quantum-related risks. NowSecure recommends that organizations inventory cryptography in first- and third-party mobile apps, remediate vulnerable implementations and retest applications as part of a planned PQC migration.
