Cloudflare plans to issue quantum-safe TLS certificates
Summary
Cloudflare announced plans to issue quantum-proof TLS certificates as part of a WebPKI overhaul. The approach relies on post-quantum Merkle Tree Certificates and a hybrid model, with Cloudflare acquiring a trusted root from GlobalSign to accelerate adoption. The effort faces challenges in handling larger handshake data, maintaining transparency logs, and coordinating across browsers and infrastructure, with issuance targeted for early 2027.
