Google is introducing a 2029 timeline to secure the quantum era with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration (Heather Adkins, VP, Security Engineering at Google).
From Google Keyword blog post:
“Last month, we called to secure the quantum era before a future quantum computer can break current encryption. This new timeline reflects migration needs for the PQC era in light of progress on quantum computing hardware development, quantum error correction, and quantum factoring resource estimates.
As a pioneer in both quantum and PQC, it’s our responsibility to lead by example and share an ambitious timeline. By doing this, we hope to provide the clarity and urgency needed to accelerate digital transitions not only for Google, but also across the industry. […]
