Cloudflare Plans Public Certificate Authority to Issue Quantum-Safe TLS Certificates
Cloudflare is building a public Certificate Authority to issue quantum-safe TLS certificates — shifting cryptographic infrastructure ahead of the post-quantum era.
Why it matters
As quantum computing advances, enterprises need migration paths for TLS certificates. Cloudflare's CA reduces friction and cost for organizations moving to quantum-resistant algorithms; practitioners should understand the timeline and adoption requirements.
The key facts
9 to knowCloudflare plans to operate a public Certificate Authority (CA) for post-quantum TLS certificates
Focus on quantum-safe algorithms (post-quantum cryptography)
