The post-quantum EO is an important milestone. Now it’s time to get to work
Here's a summary of the article in 2-3 concise sentences: The US government has issued an executive order to transition its most sensitive systems to post-quantum encryption and authentication by 2030 and 2031, respectively, setting a precedent for the broader industry to follow. This move comes as the timeline for Q-Day, when quantum computers can break public-key cryptography, has been accelerated, and over two-thirds of browser traffic to Cloudflare's network is already protected with post-quantum encryption. Cloudflare expects to be fully post-quantum secure by 2029 and advocates for a two-phase migration to post-quantum key establishment and digital signatures to ensure a secure transition.
