PQC in Plaintext: Google Cloud’s post-quantum cryptography roadmap
Securing infrastructure and services against a future cryptographically-relevant quantum computer has been a goal for Google for a decade, and we’ve dedicated ourselves to help developers by advancing open standards that can benefit everyone. As post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has matured, we’ve been rolling it out in our infrastructure for internal and customer-facing services.
Today, we're sharing our updated Google Cloud roadmap to migrate to PQC by 2029.
Our strategy: Secure by design
We’ve based our PQC migration strategy on the Google Quantum Threat Model, prioritizing protection across three key domains:
- Mitigating Store Now, Decrypt Later (SNDL) risks: Protecting today's encrypted data from being harvested and decrypted by a future quantum computer.
- Ensuring integrity against forgery: Strengthening digital signatures to prevent attackers from falsifying data and identity.
- Enhancing foundational capabilities for cryptographic agility: Building flexible systems that can easily adopt new cryptographic standards with minimal engineering...
