This update prepares the system to withstand attacks from quantum computers, a slowly approaching risk. ML-KEM is an already approved post-quantum standard, while X-Wing combines classical and quantum security in a hybrid mechanism. The patches will not be merged until there is an internal user ready to test them.<\/p>\n<h2>ML-KEM and X-Wing: Quantum Shielding for the Kernel \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f<\/h2>\n<p>ML-KEM, based on the lattice problem, offers key exchange resistant to quantum computers. X-Wing, on the other hand, mixes this standard with traditional cryptography (Curve25519) to ensure compatibility during the transition. Google&#8217;s patches affect the kernel&#8217;s cryptography subsystem and will enable its use in future implementations of NVMe, Bluetooth, and WireGuard. Developers recommend using X-Wing when possible, as it offers a double layer of protection without compromising performance.<\/p>\n<h3>Your Quantum Hard Drive Isn&#8217;t Ready Yet, But the Kernel Is \ud83d\ude80<\/h3>\n<p>For now, these patches are like buying a space helmet for a bus trip: prepared for the future, but without a clear user. Google assures they will not be activated until someone is willing to test them, which sounds like that friend who buys a generator and waits for a blackout that never comes. Meanwhile, developers can sleep easy: when quantum computers attack, at least the kernel will be ready. As for the applications, that&#8217;s a different story.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foro3d.com\/en\/2026\/mayo\/google-prepara-el-kernel-de-linux-para-la-era-cuantica.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google prepares the Linux kernel for the quantum era https:\/\/foro3d.com\/en\/2026\/mayo\/google-prepara-el-kernel-de-linux-para-la-era-cuantica.html Publish Date: 2026-05-26 22:30:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":256396,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/foro3d.com\/2026\/mayo\/imagenes\/google-prepara-el-kernel-de-linux-para-la-era-cuantica.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71,57],"class_list":["post-256394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256394"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256394"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256394\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":256397,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256394\/revisions\/256397"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
