Google Wants to Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography by 2029 https://t.co/sz8CdkNcuL

Google commits to post-quantum cryptography transition by 2029.

Summary

Google has announced a strategic initiative to transition its infrastructure and services to post-quantum cryptographic standards by 2029, addressing the emerging threat of quantum computing to current encryption methods. This timeline aligns with industry-wide efforts to adopt quantum-resistant algorithms before large-scale quantum computers become capable of breaking existing public-key cryptography. The move reflects Google's proactive approach to long-term cryptographic security and compatibility with emerging standards.
