NordVPN

NordVPN has fully implemented post-quantum encryption (PQE) across all its VPN apps and supported platforms to counter future quantum threats

The rollout began in September 2024 with the Linux app, integrating PQE into the NordLynx protocol, which is based on WireGuard

NordLynx with PQE meets the latest post-quantum cryptography standards set by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)

After successful Linux deployment, PQE was expanded to Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, tvOS, and Android TV in 2025

PQE uses quantum-resistant mathematical algorithms to protect user data from decryption by future quantum computers

The update ensures that user experience, connection speed, and latency remain high even with the new encryption

NordVPN’s PQE implementation is a proactive response to the risk of quantum computers breaking current encryption methods like RSA
