    Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Ready: ADM Prepared for Future Threats

    ASUSTOR has officially upgraded ADM's connection technology to PQC Hybrid TLS encryption using NIST-standardized ML-KEM. Combining X25519 + ML-KEM 768, it provides hybrid encryption protection. In ADM 5.1 and later, PQC Hybrid TLS is enabled automatically when connecting via TLS 1.3, with no additional configuration required, helping mitigate the potential threat of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later.”

    What is Harvest Now, Decrypt Later?

    Harvest Now, Decrypt Later refers to attackers intercepting or leaking encrypted data now and storing it long-term, waiting until future quantum computers or other technologies become mature enough to make it easier to decrypt stolen information. This is especially dangerous for information requiring long-term confidentiality such as personal data, medical and financial records, intellectual property, long-term backups, and confidential communications because encryption that seems safe today might not be safe in the future. Therefore, government agencies are urging the early adoption of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and hybrid key exchange to ensure data can withstand future quantum computer threats.

    FAQ

    Q:How to setup direct connection between the NAS and the PC via a LAN cable

    By connecting the NAS to the computer directly via LAN cable, the NAS shell retains its default static IP address which is 169.254.1.2(LAN1), configures the PC LAN IP address to the same segment(for example 169.254.1.10), then you can use ACC to scan and list the directly connected NAS information.

    Q:Setting up Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) on your ASUSTOR NAS

    Setting up Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) on your ASUSTOR NAS is straightforward because PQC Hybrid TLS is automatically enabled in ADM 5.1 and later versions when supported by the browser. Step 1: Prepare Your ASUSTOR NAS You do not need to enable any specific ... Learn more about this >

    Q:Where is the ADM Health Record?

    Dr. ASUSTOR can be used to check the health of your NAS. DR. ASUSTOR checks certain settings that may affect system or data security. Dr. ASUSTOR will give you appropriate instructions to ensure that the system and data is intact. For more information, please send an exported ... Learn more about this >

    Q:Which system settings can be backed up on a NAS?

    Which system settings can be backed up on a NAS? 1. Lists and access rights for local users and groups. 2. Lists and access rights for shared folders. 3. Most system settings. 4. Entries in the firewall automatic blacklist. Exceptions: 1. Cloud ID ... Learn more about this >

    Q:How can I use the capacity on other volumes beyond default volume1

    To use the capacity on other volumes beyond default volume1, please add a new share folder or edit an existing share folder then select the desired volume as the storage path of this share folder.
