Defending against future threats: Cloudflare goes post-quantum

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has announced that it now supports post-quantum (PQ) cryptography on all its websites and APIs, making them secure against any future quantum computer. This comes after the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced in July 2022 which PQ cryptography they will standardize. The final standards are expected to be published in 2024. Cloudflare's beta service offers this post-quantum cryptography free of charge, believing that post-quantum security should be the new baseline for the Internet.
