Preparing for Q-Day: How Cloudflare is Helping DoD Achieve Post-Quantum Cryptographic Resilience Today

The transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is not a distant concern; it is an operational imperative for the Department of Defense (DoD) and the broader Intelligence Community (IC). Nation-state adversaries and other sophisticated actors are actively developing quantum computing capabilities that will render today's standard public key cryptography (PKC), including widely used algorithms like RSA and Error-Correcting Code (ECC), mathematically obsolete.
