This post announces the General Availability (GA) of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) support across Cloudflare's products and internal systems. It details the phased rollout plan for different customer tiers (Free, Pro/Business, Enterprise) and internal systems, with a target of full internal adoption by the end of 2024. The post lists the initial set of products and services included in the GA rollout, such as 1.1.1.1, R2, Argo Smart Routing, and WAF, and outlines future products slated for PQC support, including Cloudflare Gateway, DNS, and Workers. It reiterates the rationale for prioritizing PQC adoption due to the threat of quantum computers breaking current encryption and emphasizes that PQC will be included for free in all applicable Cloudflare products.
