OpenSUSE developers have announced they are making ZUPT available on their Linux distribution as a solution for providing post-quantum backups. ZUPT combines backup creation, compression, integrity verification, and encryption all via this single open-source utility. ZUPT provides AES-256-based encryption as well as a hybrid cryptographic scheme based on ML-KEM-768 + X25519. The hope is that ZUPT backups will remain resilient against future cryptographic threats. ZUPT leverages CPU multi-threading for faster performance during the backup / compression / encryption processes. ZUPT was accepted into openSUSE Factory to become an "officially integrated solution" across the life-cycle of system backups to compression and encryption protection in the openSUSE ecosystem. More details on the openSUSE side via news.opensuse.org. Those wishing to learn more about ZUPT itself can do so via the project's GitHub.
