Kyber is the future, and it’s in our VPN
As quantum computers continue to evolve and become more powerful, they will eventually be able to crack encryption algorithms that are currently deemed secure. To protect our users against this threat, last year we integrated post-quantum encryption into our own Lightway VPN protocol, using the cryptography standard Kyber. We chose Kyber based on our own analysis as well as its backing by industry leaders. All ExpressVPN users enjoy this protection, as long as their app is using Lightway as the protocol.
Last week, the National Institute of Standards and Technology officially announced that it has selected Kyber as the primary standard for key exchange in the post-quantum era. This decision was based on years of rigorous analysis and testing by the world’s leading cryptographers, affirming Kyber’s robustness and reliability in protecting data against quantum computing threats.
For us at ExpressVPN, this announcement isn’t just a validation of Kyber but also our proactive approach to security. We’ve built our teams to look forward, and we expect them to maintain a comprehensive understanding of the security landscape. This allowed us to confidently choose Kyber long before it became the industry standard, so we could put it to work protecting our users. Read our blog post here.
