• [$] Disagreements over post-quantum encryption for TLS

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Dec 9 06:40:08 2025


    The

    Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the standards body responsible
    for the TLS encryption standard - which your browser is using right now
    to allow you to read LWN.net. As part of its work to keep TLS secure, the IETF has been entertaining

    proposals to adopt "post-quantum" cryptography (that is,
    cryptography that is not known to be easily broken by a quantum computer) for TLS
    version 1.3. Discussion of the proposal has exposed a large disagreement between
    participants who worried about weakened security and others who worried about weakened marketability.
