On October 11, 2026, the DNS root switches to a new key-signing key (KSK-2024). Learn what this means for you, and how RFC 8509 trust anchor sentinels allow you to test whether your DNS resolver is ready for the rollover.
Twelve years after launching Universal SSL, Cloudflare is applying to become a certificate authority. By combining an established root, an ACME-first approach, and Merkle Tree Certificates, we are building a post-quantum CA for the open web.
Cloudflare has added visibility into post-quantum (PQ) encryption in TLS 1.3 directly into HTTP Analytics, Log Explorer, and Logpush. Learn how to make sure your domain is protected with PQ encryption.
A sophisticated attacker with a quantum computer can exploit a protocol design flaw to downgrade post-quantum IPsec tunnels to classical crypto. We helped the IETF develop a transcript authentication extension to prevent these attacks.
We’re building CryptoLabe, an internal AI-powered tool that discovers cryptography across our codebase, surfaces dependencies, and helps us progress toward a full post-quantum migration by 2029. Here’s what we’ve learned so far.
As post-quantum signatures threaten to inflate TLS handshakes and certificate transparency logs, Merkle Tree Certificates offer a path to compact, auditable authentication. Cloudflare’s new certificate authority will support MTC issuance at scale.
1.1.1.1 now validates DNSSEC signatures using NIST’s post-quantum ML-DSA-44 algorithm. Here is how we manage 2,420-byte signatures and downgrade risks at scale.
Update August 11, 2026: A group of researchers from all over Europe were inspired by this post, and actually turned it into a real working attack! Check out their writeup and paper here. This is a quick post I wanted to write about a hobby project I spent a weekend on. It has little to … Continue reading Let’s talk about encrypted reasoning →
Keybase.io is a new service that combines asymmetric cryptography with a social network. It allows users to easily share public keys and authenticate messages by linking keys to profiles on Twitter, GitHub, Reddit, etc. The service provides encrypted messaging and bitcoin wallet pairing to make adopting cryptography seamless.
