IPFire 2.29 Core Update 193 has been released today for this powerful, open-source, and secure Linux-based firewall distribution designed to protect networks against evolving cyber threats introducing post-quantum cryptography.

Coming after IPFire 2.29 Core Update 192, the IPFire 2.29 Core Update 193 release introduces support for post-quantum cryptography using the Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM) in IPsec tunnels. This feature is enabled by default for new tunnels using Curve448, Curve25519, various other NIST-certified elliptic curve algorithms, and RSA-4096 and RSA-3072.
