Security News > 2022 > October > It's 2058. A quantum computer is just another decade away. Still, you curse Cloudflare

Cloudflare is the first major internet infrastructure provider to support post-quantum cryptography for all customers, which, in theory, should protect data if quantum computing ever manages to break today's encryption technologies.

Starting today all websites and APIs served through Cloudflare support post-quantum TLS based on the Kyber hybrid key agreement.

In their blog post, Westerbaan and Rubin pledged to post updates on Cloudflare's post-quantum key agreement support on pq.

As Cloudflare's researchers outline, deploying post-quantum cryptography comes with risks, too.

"It's because of these issues that we feel it is important to deploy post-quantum cryptography early, so that together with browsers and other clients we can find and work around these issues," they added.

"Post-quantum encryption is expected to have a huge impact on infrastructure, operations and data security over the next decade, and testing protocols like TLS at realistic speeds and volumes helps the industry move forward in a smooth way," Horvath told The Register.
