Cultivating a robust and efficient quantum-safe HTTPS

The Chrome Secure Web and Networking Team has announced a new program aimed at developing quantum-resistant HTTPS certificates, specifically using Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs). This initiative follows the formation of the IETF working group PLANTS to address the challenges of quantum-resistant cryptography in TLS connections. MTCs promise to enhance performance by minimizing the size of authentication data while maintaining transparency and security. Chrome is currently conducting feasibility studies with Cloudflare and plans a phased rollout over the next few years, ultimately establishing a new Chrome Quantum-resistant Root Store (CQRS). This effort aims to secure the web against future quantum threats while supporting existing CA partnerships and traditional certificates in private contexts.
