Microsoft Details Steps for Post-Quantum Cryptography Adoption

Future-Proofing JWT Security: Crypto-Agility, Post-Quantum Signatures, and IAM Migration

Today, applications are built around identity systems. All API gateways, microservices, mobile backends, and single sign-on flows require some form of authentication and authorization. That trust is often conveyed via a JSON Web Token (JWT) in many systems. Their compactness, portability, and ability to be easily verified within distributed systems make them popular. A service can accept a token, validate its signature, verify the claims of the …

Microsoft Details Steps for Post-Quantum Cryptography Adoption

Key Takeaways: Threat modeling can help organizations discover undocumented cryptographic dependencies. Microsoft recommends TLS 1.3 as a foundation for post-quantum cryptography adoption. Businesses should evaluate crypto-agility and prepare to adopt ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and stronger encryption standards. Microsoft is urging organizations to use threat modeling to discover cryptographic dependencies that could become vulnerable as quantum computing…
