Recent advances in quantum hardware and software have accelerated the timeline on which quantum attack might happen. Cloudflare is responding by moving our target for full post-quantum security to 202
AI Summary
Cloudflare has accelerated its post-quantum (PQ) security roadmap, targeting full PQ security, including authentication, by 2029. This comes after breakthroughs in quantum computing advancements, including Google's improved algorithm to break elliptic curve cryptography and Oratomic's low qubit estimate for breaking RSA-2048 and P-256. The increased pace of progress on quantum hardware, error correction, and quantum software has pushed the predicted timeline for PQ migration forward from 2035+.
