Google Cloud Targets 2029 for Post-Quantum Readiness
TL;DR. Google Cloud released an updated roadmap for migrating its infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2029. - The plan aims to mitigate Store Now Decrypt Later (SNDL) risks and strengthen digital signatures against quantum attacks. - Key milestones include mitigating SNDL for customer-facing workloads by 2027 and rolling out quantum-resistant identity protections by 2028. - Google's API endpoints and load balancers already support NIST-standardized ML-KEM key exchange in hybrid mode.
- Google Cloud's updated roadmap targets full post-quantum cryptography readiness by 2029.
- The plan prioritizes mitigating 'Store Now Decrypt Later' (SNDL) risks and strengthening digital signatures.
- Milestones include SNDL mitigation by end-2027 and quantum-resistant identity protections by end-2028.
- Google's API endpoints and load balancers now use NIST-standardized ML-KEM in hybrid key exchange mode.
