Quincy is an open-source VPN implementation that leverages the QUIC protocol with support for pre-quantum, hybrid, and post-quantum cryptography. The project provides cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS, offering both CLI and GUI clients. This represents a significant step forward in preparing for post-quantum security threats to current encryption standards.
Background
As quantum computing advances, current encryption methods like RSA and ECC become increasingly vulnerable to attacks. The networking industry is actively developing post-quantum cryptographic solutions to secure communications against future quantum threats.
