Cloudflare has announced “the world’s first complete Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) to support modern post-quantum encryption standards.”

According to the announcement, this addition “ensures that every component of the Cloudflare One ecosystem – including Zero Trust access and WAN-as-a-Service – is now protected by the latest cryptographic standards.”

“NIST set a 2030 deadline for deprecating RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and transitioning to PQC that cannot be broken by powerful quantum computers,” the company notes. However, this process takes time, and in terms of network traffic, the transition “requires an overhaul of two cryptographic primitives: key agreement and digital signatures.”

Cloudflare One specifically incorporates post-quantum hybrid ML-KEM (Module-Lattice-based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism), and the company states that “over 60% of human-generated TLS traffic to Cloudflare’s network is currently protected with hybrid ML-KEM.”
