Summary

Cloudflare has added post-quantum TLS 1.3 visibility to HTTP Traffic Analytics, Log Explorer, and Logpush, enabling customers to monitor the key-exchange algorithms used for individual visitor connections and assess cryptographic readiness by domain. The new telemetry highlights use of the hybrid X25519MLKEM768 algorithm, which combines classical X25519 with post-quantum ML-KEM and is the recommended TLS 1.3 approach for defending against harvest-now-decrypt-later threats, while also identifying traffic that uses classical algorithms, deprecated draft implementations, RSA-based exchanges, or no TLS. Cloudflare reports that roughly 70% of browser traffic reaching its network already uses hybrid ML-KEM, compared with about 15% of Cloudflare-to-origin connections, illustrating a gap in origin adoption. Customers can use the ClientTLSKeyExchangeGroup and OriginTLSKeyExchangeGroup log fields to investigate both visitor-to-Cloudflare and Cloudflare-to-origin encryption, enable TLS 1.3 to allow automatic post-quantum negotiation, or use Cloudflare Tunnel to protect connections to legacy origins. The release is part of Cloudflare’s broader effort to achieve full post-quantum security by 2029, with future plans to expose post-quantum authentication data as certificate and signature technologies become more widely deployed.
