Securing the post-quantum world

Quantum computing is advancing rapidly due to the efforts of academic institutions and companies like IBM, Microsoft, Google, and Honeywell. This technology could potentially break modern cryptographic algorithms, posing a threat to internet security. Researchers are working on developing quantum-resistant cryptography solutions to protect data from future quantum computers. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is leading the charge in defining post-quantum cryptography algorithms to replace RSA and ECC. Cloudflare has been actively testing and implementing these new algorithms, with plans to offer post-quantum cipher suites to customers as standards emerge.
