Google Sets 2029 Deadline for Quantum-Safe Cryptography

Summary

Google has announced a 2029 deadline for migrating its infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to safeguard against future quantum computing threats. The move reflects growing industry recognition that cryptographic standards vulnerable to quantum decryption must be replaced before large-scale quantum computers become operational. This timeline aligns with emerging quantum threat assessments and sets a precedent for other major tech companies.
