Cloudflare announced it is fast‑tracking its plan to make all of its services post‑quantum secure by 2029, after citing parallel advances in quantum hardware, error correction and algorithms from Google and other researchers. The company says more than half of human traffic already uses post‑quantum key agreement and that post‑quantum authentication will roll out across products through 2028–2029 and be on by default without extra cost.
— If major infrastructure providers commit to default post‑quantum crypto on a 3–4 year horizon, policymakers, certificate authorities, enterprises and software vendors must accelerate migration plans, standards, and procurement to avoid a disruptive scramble.
