Announcing quantum-safe key import in Cloud KMS
As enterprises increasingly adopt multicloud architectures, bring your own key (BYOK) has become a fundamental pillar for maintaining data sovereignty and helping protect critical cloud workloads. At the same time, quantum computing has rapidly advanced, and security teams need to re-evaluate how they securely transfer encryption keys across networks.
Following our previous announcements of quantum-safe digital signatures and quantum-safe key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) in Cloud Key Management Service (Cloud KMS), we are excited to announce the preview of quantum-safe key import in Cloud KMS for software-based cryptographic keys.
Our updated quantum-safe BYOK capability, the first step of the next phase of our post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration timeline, can help you protect your sensitive keys before a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer (CRQC) emerges.
As you adopt quantum-safe key import to help protect your keys in transit, you can also monitor your overall post-quantum posture with Cloud KMS PQC insights, now...
