Cloudflare plans to issue quantum-safe #TLS #certificates
#Cloudflare said Tuesday it plans to issue quantum-proof TLS certificates, making it one of the first authorities to issue such certificates that use a form of #cryptography that is widely believed to withstand attacks from #quantum computers.
The Internet #infrastructure provider said it will use an #opensource platform that issues both classic TLS certificates and a post-quantum equivalent known as #MerkleTreeCertificates. The hybrid certificates will be free to both paying and non-paying users. To help build the massive system and establish ubiquity across the sprawling TLS ecosystem, Cloudflare will be acquiring an already trusted certificate root from CA #GlobalSign. Cloudflare said the move will let millions of websites use post-quantum certificates at the flip of a switch and without incurring any increased performance overhead.
