- 3InfoQ·10/5/2026securityPodcast on the Future of Cybersecurity
In this InfoQ podcast, Chris Swan reflects on themes from QCon London 2026 and previews future security topics. The discussion highlights a shift in cybersecurity toward automated, system-level defenses, including hardware memory safety, automated governance, and post-quantum cryptography.
- 7InfoQ·10/5/2026securityCloudflare Plans Public CA for Quantum-Safe TLS Certificates
Cloudflare says it plans to launch a public certificate authority that can issue quantum-safe TLS certificates. The move is meant to help prepare internet infrastructure for post-quantum cryptography as TLS deployments evolve.
- 7Cloudflare Blog·9/29/2026product_launchCloudflare Adds Post-Quantum Encryption Visibility for Domains
Cloudflare has introduced new visibility features that let customers inspect post-quantum TLS 1.3 adoption at the domain level through Logpush, Log Explorer, and the HTTP Traffic Analytics dashboard. The tools expose the key exchange algorithm used on each request, helping users audit readiness, assess compliance, and identify cryptographic gaps as the industry moves toward quantum-safe encryption.
- 8Cloudflare Blog·9/29/2026securityCloudflare builds a post-quantum certificate authority with Merkle Tree Certificates
Cloudflare says it is becoming a certificate authority that will support Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs), with a target of early 2027 for inclusion in Chrome’s quantum-resistant root store. The company will offer standard MTC issuance at no cost, aiming to provide a scalable post-quantum upgrade path for web authentication while keeping certificate transparency as a first-class property.
- 7Cloudflare Blog·9/29/2026securityCloudflare uses AI to plan its post-quantum migration
Cloudflare says it is targeting full post-quantum readiness by 2029 and is building an internal tool called CryptoLabe to help map where cryptography is used across its codebase. The company is using AI to identify cryptographic dependencies, track migration progress, and surface missing post-quantum prerequisites across repositories, products, and supporting ecosystems.

Oracle has released Java 27, the second non-LTS release since JDK 25, with nine JEPs in the final set. The update emphasizes stronger security, future language innovation, and related projects including Helidon 27 and JavaFX 27, with several features still in preview or incubator stages.
- 5InfoQ·9/12/2026open_sourceRustls Marks 10 Years with New Funding and Roadmap
Rustls, a Rust-based TLS library, has grown over the past decade from a community project into a funded open-source effort supported by organisations. Its development has led to features such as post-quantum cryptography and strong performance, while the upcoming 0.24 release will focus on architecture improvements, input buffering, and session handling.
- 7InfoQ·8/28/2026securityFour Post-Quantum Cryptography Patterns for Spring Boot
The article outlines four ways to introduce post-quantum cryptography into a Spring Boot environment: service-to-service payload encryption, database field protection, long-term document signing, and replacing RS256 for service tokens. It also notes that harvest-now-decrypt-later threats are already relevant, and that production deployment should rely on KMS or Vault.
- 7Cloudflare Blog·8/5/2026researchCloudflare named a Visionary in 2026 SASE and SSE reports
Cloudflare says it is the only vendor recognized as a Visionary in both Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms and Security Service Edge. The company frames the recognition as validation of Cloudflare One and highlights its approach to unified connectivity, AI-agent governance, and post-quantum encryption.
- 5Simon Willison·7/29/2026researchMatthew Green on AI-Powered Cryptanalysis
Matthew Green argues that the current shift from RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography to post-quantum algorithms is an ideal moment for new AI-driven cryptanalysis capabilities. He suggests such work could either strengthen confidence in cryptographic assumptions or, if AI advances far enough, undermine some hard problems altogether.
- 8The New Stack·7/6/2026securityMicrosoft, Google and Cloudflare Move Quantum-Safe Deadline to 2029
Microsoft, Google and Cloudflare say organizations should prepare to move to post-quantum cryptography by 2029, a year earlier than prior end-of-decade targets. The companies argue that cryptographically relevant quantum computers may arrive sooner than expected, making migration a multi-year security effort that should start now.
- 8Cloudflare Blog·6/23/2026regulationWhite House Post-Quantum Order Sets Federal Migration Deadlines
The White House signed Executive Order 14412 to accelerate the U.S. government’s move to post-quantum cryptography, setting deadlines for agencies and contractors to adopt post-quantum encryption and authentication. Cloudflare says the order is an important milestone and notes that migration to post-quantum encryption is already underway, while post-quantum authentication is just beginning.
