"Cloudflare aims to make its entire platform fully post-quantum secure by 2029 at the latest, including authentication systems, due to new developments in quantum computing."
"Research by Google and Oratomic shows that algorithms and hardware can break widely used encryption methods, including RSA-2048 and elliptic curve cryptography, indicating that 'Q-day' is approaching."
"The combination of advancements in quantum hardware, error correction, and algorithms makes the threat landscape more dangerous sooner than previously thought."
"Migrating to post-quantum authentication is more complex than rolling out post-quantum encryption, necessitating the complete disabling of legacy cryptographic systems to prevent downgrade attacks."
Cloudflare aims for complete post-quantum security by 2029, focusing on authentication systems as quantum computing advances threaten existing encryption. Research indicates that algorithms can break RSA-2048 and elliptic curve cryptography sooner than expected. The company highlights progress in quantum hardware, error correction, and algorithms, which intensify the threat landscape. The shift in focus from data protection to authentication is crucial, as quantum attackers could forge credentials. Transitioning to post-quantum authentication is complex, requiring the disabling of legacy systems to prevent downgrade attacks.
