Securing the post-quantum world
Dec 11, 2020Nick Sullivan

Summary
This post introduces the emerging threat of quantum computing to internet security, specifically its potential to break current cryptographic algorithms like RSA. It highlights Cloudflare's proactive engagement in researching and preparing for post-quantum cryptography, including participation in NIST's standardization efforts, conducting TLS experiments with post-quantum algorithms, and developing high-speed implementations in their CIRCL library. The post signals Cloudflare's commitment to integrating post-quantum cryptography into its internal services and offering it to customers as standards emerge, thus extending its threat management capabilities to future cryptographic landscapes.
